REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
FELLOW CITIZENS
The writer is now entering his twentieth year of public
service as a Selectman of Barnstable and the other two mem-
bers have served nearly as long. During these years he many
times thought he would like to write, in narrative form, a
comprehensive report which would set forth in considerable
detail all the activities with which the Selectmen had been
engaged over the previous year. But it is clear that such a
report would require many pages of a book like this and
probably its value to the town would not justify the cost.,
In this report of all your Town Officers, you will find an
account of how they spent the money which you appropriated
in 1948. The writer believes that most of you will be con-
vinced that all things considered, it was well spent.
The people of Barnstable ,have nearly always elected
good officials and in cases where a mistake was made it,was
soon corrected. We trust the same holds true in regard to
the many officials the Selectmen have to appoint. Of equal
importance is the action of the people themselves in town
meeting assembled. The record over a long period of years
during which vast changes have come about, discloses facts
that no intelligent person in good faith can dispute; facts
which prove beyond all doubt that our New England sys-
tems of local town government while not perfect, far sur-
passes any other system yet conceived anywhere on earth.
Let us briefly consider the present economic condition of the
Town of Barnstable.
It is one of the very few large towns in the Common-
6
wealth both geographically and in assessed valuation. It has
probably the longest coast line, upon which, and its harbors,
vast sums of money have been expended in recent years for
protection and improvement. Besides two State Highways
running through it from east to west, it has a 'tremendous
mileage of town roads—more than any other town in the
State. No one can deny that they are good roads. Barnstable
has a large school population. Most people believe they are
good schools with adequate transportation which, owing to
the extensive area of the town is expensive. Yet, all this and
many other features, notwithstanding the town has a tax
rate, with fire districts included, which can be numbered
with the lowest in Massachusetts. Furthermore its assessed
valuation is not based upon temporarily inflated values be-
cause of shortage of building materials. Neither is it based
upon speculative values which always appear for a while in
times like the present.
Nevertheless we always have with us a few citizens who
insist that our town government is badly managed and that
we should radically change our system.
No thoughtful citizen having in mind the proven facts
in the records of our town will be in the least deceived by
the contentions of such people whose arguments are hardly
worth disputing. It is self-evident that no accurate conclu-
sions can be drawn by the use of yardsticks, in making com-
parisons with other towns, which even the least informed
people cannot fail to recognize as inadequate and useless.
Your Selectmen are all in agreement that the time has
come when our present method of so-called spot zoning
which the Selectmen have administered as best they could
for twenty years, should be changed to a modern one which
has proved its worth long since in a great many other towns.
You will have an opportunity to vote upon it at the coming
town meeting, and also upon a revised building code which
7
is in keeping with those adopted in most other well regulated
towns. Your Selectmen respectfully recommend the passage
of both of these proposals.
In closing these brief comments the writer wishes to
state that from his point of view as a Town Official with
many years of practical experience close'to the people, he
still has faith in our system of local self government. He still
firmly believes that the people have the ability and the will
to carry on in a manner consistent with a nation of free
citizens.
Let us hope that the larger aspects of our democratic
form of government in State and National affairs will even-
tually reflect some of the homely wisdom and good judgment
so manifest in the people of New England towns.
Respectfully,
CHESTER A. CROCKER,
Chairman.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT
August 25, 1948
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Chester A. Crocker, Chairman
Barnstable, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books
and accounts of the town of Barnstable for the period from
January 1, 1947 to April 21, 1948, made in accordance with
the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the
form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine,
Assistant Director. of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
FRANCIS X. LANG,
Director of Accounts
Mr. Francis X. Lang
Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an
audit of the books and accounts of the town of Barnstable
for the period from January 1, 1947, to April 21, 1948, and
report thereon as follows:
The records of financial transactions of the several de-
66
parments receiving or disbursing money for the town or
committing bills for collection were examined, checked, and
verified by comparison with the reports and records as kept,
by the accounting officer.
The accounting officer's ledgers were analyzed, the ap-
propriation accounts being checked to the record of votes
passed at the town meetings as recorded by the town clerk,
and the transfers from the reserve fund being compared
with the records of the finance committee. A trial balance
was taken off, and a balance sheet showing the financial
condition of the town on April 21, 1948, was prepared and
is appended to this,report. An examination of this balance
sheet indicates that the town is in good financial condition.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were
examined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed
and the recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with
the records of the several departments collecting money for
the town and with other sources from which money was
paid into the town treasury, while the payments were
checked with the warrants authorizing the'treasurer to dis-
burse town funds. The cash balance on April 21, 1948, was
proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by recon-
ciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by
the banks in which town funds were deposited.
The debt and interest payments were checked with the
amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on
file.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by
the town were examined and checked in detail. The taxes
transferred to the tax .title account were compared with
the collector's records, the disclaimers and foreclosures
were verified, and the redemptions of tax titles and sales
of tax possessions were checked to the treasurer's cash
67
book. The tax titles and tax possessions on hand were
listed and reconciled with the accounting officer's ledger
accounts.
The savings bank books and securities representing the
investments of the several trust and investment funds in
the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed,
the income being proved and the withdrawals being verified.
The books and records of the town collector were
examined and checked in detail. The town and fire district
taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessments, and de-
partmental accounts outstanding according to the previous
examination and all subsequent commitment lists were
audited and reconciled with the warrants for their collection.
The payments to the town and district treasurers were veri-
fied, the abatements were checked to the records in the de-
partments authorized to grant such credits, and the outstand-
ing accounts were listed and proved with the accounting
officer's ledger accounts.
The outstanding, accounts were verified by mailing
notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on
the books as owing money to the town, and from the re-
plies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are
correct.
The town clerk's records of dog, sporting, and miscel-
laneous licenses issued were examined, the payments to the
State being verified by comparison with the receipts on file,
and the payments to the town treasurer being compared
with the treasurer's cash book.
The books and accounts of the treasurer of the District
Department of Veterans' Services were examined and
checked. The amounts received for the expenses of the dis-
trict from the towns of Barnstable, Dennis, and Yarmouth,
68
which comprise the district, were verified. The payments
were compared with the warrants authorizing the treasurer
to disburse district funds, and the cash balance on April 21,
1948 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with
a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.
The surety bond of the district treasurer furnished for
the faithful performance of his duties was examined and
found to be in proper form.
The books and accounts of the Ireterans' Housing Com-
mittee were examined. The collections on account of security
deposits and rents were checked to the payments to the
treasurer, while the disbursements were compared with the
approved warrants on file. The cash balance on June 30,
1948 was verified by reconciliation of the bank balance
with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.
It was noted that, as of June 30, 1948 there was
$5,287.50 due the town for rentals, this sum including many
accounts which have been in arrears far many months, as
a result of which the revenue received has not been sufficient
to finance the operation of the housing project. Thus, as of
June 30, 1948, there were unpaid bills contracted by the
housing committee in the amount of $9,011.69 on file.
The appended balance sheet of the housing project as
of June 30, 1948 shows a net operating loss of $2,665.29
which should be provided for. Any rents later found to be
uncollectable will increase the operating loss.
The books and records of the selectmen, and the sealer
of weights and measures, of the police, health, and school
departments, as well as of all other departments collecting
money for the town, were examined and checked with the
treasurer's record of receipts and with the records of the
accounting officer.
69 ,
The surety bonds furnished by the financial officers of
the town for the faithful performance of their duties were
examined and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance
sheet, are schedules showing a reconciliation of the several
cash accounts, summaries of the town and fire district taxes,
motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessments, tax titles, tax
possessions, and departmental accounts, together with
schedules showing the condition and transactions of the
trust and investment funds.
For the cooperation extended by all town officials dur-
ing the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my
assistants, and for myself to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted.
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.

I take this opportunity to thank each and every one of
the Town Officials and the members of their respective de-
partments for the fine cooperation extended to our depart-
ment. At this time there exists a very congenial feeling
amongst the various departments and I sincerely hope this
will continue throughout the coming years. A word to the
fine citizens of our Town in regard to their cooperation and
confidence, for without this cooperation and confidence we
would not be able to function as a unit. Last year I felt it
was necessary to add a Fingerprint and Photography Bureau
to our Department. Officer David Sullivan was placed in
charge of this Bureau, and after one year of operation it is a
pleasure to report that this Bureau has been of substantial
benefit to our Town. We lia.d 103 cases in which it was nec-
essary to have nhotnmranhc fnr The Registry of
Motor Vehicles, the Massachusetts SPCC and other Cape
Police Departments called upon us for photographic assist-
ance. This year our maintenance cost will be approximately
$1.00 per day. A very small cost for priceless evidence. A
photograph lasts forever.
I sincerely invite the public to visit our Police Station
and look over the modern equipped bureaus we have. Arrests
are a small part of a modern Police Department today.
What goes on behind the scenes, the inner workings of our
department is the essential part. It is your department. We
welcome your cooperation and criticism.
HARRY W. LAWES, JR.,
Chief of Police.

Report of THE SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
It is with pleasure that I submit the following report
for the year 1948:
During the past year we have completed construction on
Center Street. We now have a forty foot street with five foot
sidewalk on each side making an easy approach to the cen-
ter of Hyannis and allowing plenty of room at the junction
of Center and Main Streets.
Main Street has been resurfaced with the best type of
asphalt paving. The work is completed from Sherman Square
to Barnstable Road and we expect to finish the street to
Yarmouth line, with State aid, under Chapter 90.
Route 132 has been widened and will be resurfaced be.
fore the coming summer. -
Under Chapter 90 Maintenance the Newtown-Sandwich
Road, a distance of about four miles, has been resurfaced
for the full length.
The Oyster Harbor Road was raised about two feet and
resurfaced.
The new Grand Island Bridge has been in use the,entire
summer and with the new approaches is greatly improved.
The following streets have been surfaced: Angell Road,
Louis Street, Charles Street, Tower Hill Road and Swift Ave-
nue. Approximately four miles on the Osterville-West Barn-
stable Road has been resurfaced and many of the old roads
were resealed with sand and oil.
We did not do any stone sealing because the cost of ma-
terial was prohibitive.
1.95i
Surface drainage has been generally improved, especial-
ly in Osterville and West Barnstable. A new drain installed
on Oak Street or Clay Hill has eliminated the wet and icy
condition of the road.
Considerable curb and sidewalk has been built in each
of the several villages and more is needed._
Some new fence was constructed and much of the old
fence is in bad condition and in need of repair and paint.
The street marking has been greatly extended and street
signs for both new and old .streets are in constant demand.
About 175,000 gallons of asphaltic oils were used in all
types of road work during 1948.
During the past year we used about 800 yards of sand
and 20 tons of salt for treatment of icy roads and sidewalks.
Buildings and-equipment of this department are in good
condition. One new truck was purchased in 1948 and we
should have at least one new one in 1949. We have three
trucks that are nine years old.
I wish to again thank the officials and committees of the
Town and also the citizens for their cooperation and assist-
ance.
The following.is a classified statement of expenditures
for the past year:
Repairs on Roads and Bridges
Labor $46,889.60 Appropriated $98,900.00
Trucks and Tractors 14,083.10 Reserve Fund 1,800.00

REPORT OF-ROAD COMMITTEE
January 19, 1949.
Town of Barnstable,
Selectmen's Office,
Hyannis, Mass.
Gentlemen:
On Tuesday, January 18, 1949 the Road Committee met
with the Surveyor of Highways, who presented the Commit-
tee with his estimated budget for the year 1949. This budget
was carefully itemized and broken down into major groups,
having some eighteen separate items, totaling $114,500. Your
Road Committee after carefully considering this budget,
item by item, approved the budget as estimated, but wish to
make suggestions about two of the items.
Item 4, having to do with the salary of the Surveyor of
Highways, which seemingly has been standing at $4,000.
Your Road Committee suggest and recommend increase of
this amount to $4,400.
Under Item 17, having to do with expenditures in ref-
erence to traffic signals, road markers, etc., your Road Com-
mittee suggest that the lease contract or agreement tinder
which the automatic trip signals are used, be carefully re-
examined with the idea in view of determining whether or
not the present system of payment may be terminated at a
profit to the Town, by substituting therefor a purchasing
agreement by which the Town becomes the owner of the
signals. From information placed before your Road Com-
mittee it would appear that owning the signals would be a
saving of money to the Town as against paying yearly ren-
tal amounts for their use.
In addition to the itemized budget the Surveyor of High-
ways also submitted the following seven articles having to
198
do with roads. These seven articles were also discussed at
some length and all are recommended by your Road Com-
mittee:
Article I—To .see if the Town will raise and appropriate not
more than $15,000 for new construction .roads to be
used on Main Street, Hyannis, provided the County of
Barnstable and the Massachusetts Department of Pub-
lic Works will make contribution under the provisions
of Chapter 90 of the General Laws. (Requested by the
Surveyor of Highways, and recommended by the Road
Committee.)
Article II—To see if the Town will raise and appropriate not
more than $10,000 for the construction of curbs and
sidewalks. (Requested by the Surveyor of Highways
and recommended by the Road Committee.)
Article III—To see if the Town will raise and appropriate
not more than $5,000 to meet the Town's share of the
cost of Chapter 90 Maintenance, and that in addition,
the sum of$10,000 be raised and appropriated or appro-
priated from available funds in the Treasury to meet
the State and County's share of the cost of the work,
the reimbursements from the State and County to be
restored, upon their receipt, to available funds in the
Treasury.Work to be done on Yarmouth Road and other
Chapter 90 roads. (Requested by the Surveyor of High-
ways and recommended by the Road Committee.)
Article IV—To see if the Town will raise and appropriate
not more than $3,500 for the'purpose of surfacing Lin-
coln Road in the Village of Hyannis. (Requested by the
Surveyor of Highways and recommended by the Road
Committee.)
Article V—To see if the Town will raise and appropriate
199
not more than $13,000 for the purpose of installing an
18 inch drain from Main Street to Snow's Creek via
Pine Street. (Requested by the Surveyor of Highways
and recommended by the Road Committee.)
Article VI—To see if the Town will raise and appropriate
not more than $7,500 for the purpose of resurfacing
Church Street and Parker Road in West Barnstable.
(Requested by the Surveyor of Highways and recom-
mended by the Road Committee.)
Article VII—To see if the Town will authorize the Surveyor
of Highways to expend not over $1,500 from the ma-
chinery account of the Highway Department for the
purchase of new equipment. (Requested by the Surveyor
of Highways and recommended by the Road Committee.)

Report of
BUILDING INSPECTOR
January 6, 1949.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
Since I have taken over the job of Building Inspector
for the Town on November 8, 1948, it has come to my atten-
tion that our present Building Regulations are inadequate.
I have been trying to remedy this situation, with the
help of the builders and architects of the Town, and hope.
to have a new set of Building Regulations ready for the
Annual Town Meeting.
These articles have been given a good deal of thought
and consideration, and will be beneficial to the Town as a
whole, prospective home builders, home owners, and the
building industry.
It includes standards by which all reputable builders
and architects ordinarily abide, but the new regulations will
help keep the so-called sub-standard builders in line, and
generally improve the class of building in the Town.
I am happy to submit herewith a list of the permits and
approximate costs for the year 1948.

trees in the various villages throughout the town. In the
village of Barnstable, this department planted over 60 trees
as replacements for dead and damaged trees. This work was
also carried out in Hyannis, Centerville, Osterville and Co-
tuit. It is our plan to plant 500 trees during the coming year
in the newly developed residential areas in the town."This
program is made necessary because no large scale plantings
have been made in these new developments for a. number of
years.
The annual pruning of trees along the main highways
and sidewalks was carried out during the routine work of
the department. During this past fall, it was necessary to
remove approximately 150 trees which were considered dan-
gerous and unsightly. The removal of this large number of
trees will probably continue for two or three years, due to
the damage from windstorms during the past few ,years. The
young shade trees throughout the town have been pruned
and fertilized to insure a good growth.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the citizens
of the town for their cooperation in watering and care of the
new trees planted along the highways. It is very essential
that these new trees receive special care during the first
three years to insure their growth.
The tent caterpillar situation continued to show im-
provement during the past year, and I am pleased to report
204
that with the use of DDT at the proper times this depart-
ment will continue to show improvement in the tent cater- .
pillar infestation from year to year.
During the past year there was a decided decrease in
the elm beetle infestations throughout the town. The weather
was favorable for the control of this insect during the spray-
ing season. These infestations must be watched closely and
the possibility of complete control is doubtful so that it will
be necessary for this department to be alerted to the control
of serious infestations during the coming years.
The Town of Barnstable continues to be free of the
Dutch elm disease and the spread of this disease is limited
to an area of approximately 60 miles from this town. During
the past season, the U. S. Department of Agriculture in co-
operation with this department scouted for the Dutch elm
disease in the town and found the area to be in good con-
dition.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Tree Warden.

Report of MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
In submitting my report for 1948, I would like to de-
scribe that which is uppermost in the people's minds;
namely, airplane spraying. During the 1948 spraying, be-
tween 1,500 and 2,000 acres were sprayed by airplane. The
result of this proved to be very satisfactory. The cost of
approximately $1.50 per acre would warrant a more ex-
tensive program of this nature in the years to come, with
the possible goal; the eradication of the gypsy moth from
the entire town.
During the winter of 1948, a thorough scouting job
was done on the shade trees throughout the town. The
number of egg clusters found was small and the depart-
ment decided it was not necessary to carry out the creosot-
ing work of the past several years. The money thus saved
was used in a more extensive spraying program.
The spraying and mist application was begun early in
May and continued when the need arose until the end of
August. This program took care of the shade trees in the
villages where it is not practical to use airborne control.
This department, with the funds available, was able
to purchase a new type mist sprayer mentioned in last
year's report. I am pleased to report that this machine came
up to our expectations. With the new blower, this depart-
ment was able to cover large roadside acreage. This new
type mist sprayer could do the work of four old type
sprayers and at about one-third the cost. This increased
efficiency has made it possible for us to cover areas that
could not be included in our program of previous years.
The Sandy Neck Section of the, town, which over a pe-
206
riod of years has been a continual. source of infestations
by the brown tail moth, was sprayed from the air and the
results were satisfactory. It is the hope of the department
to eliminate this infestation within the next few years.
Two hydraulic machines and the mist blower were
assigned to the fall Webb moth control during the late
summer. A solution of DDT was used in this work and the
control continues to show improvement. In my opinion,
if this effective spray program is carried on each year, the
fall Webb moth will be kept under control.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Moth Superintendent.

Report of FOREST FIRE WARDEN
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my thirteenth annual report for the
year ending December 31, 1948.
This Department answered calls for 32 brush fires, 36
grass, 1 pine needles, 1 truck, 1 R. R. ties and 1 dump,
making a total of 72 fires from the following causes:
10 careless burning
6 incinerators
25 train fires
12 children
3 hot ashes
9 smoking
1 hot carbon
1 bulldozer
1 plane
1 truck
3 outside town
72 fires with less than 20 acres burned over in
this Town.
There were 2,150 permits for open air fires issued in
the Town this year. We are pleased to report the number
of fires from careless burning was less than half that of
previous years thanks to the co-operation of the public.
The train sets are getting to be a real problem. It is my
belief the reason for this is wornout equipment and poor
grades of fuel. At times it has become necessary to have
the Patrol follow trains through the Town which ties up
our equipment. Children are again responsible for the same
208
I
number of fires. I strongly urge that every effort be made
to keep matches and smoking material out of the reach of
small children.
A second truck, of the small brushbreaker type, was
added to our equipment this year and I feel four fires
would have gone out of control without it. Therefore it
more than saved its cost the first year. As recommended
last year we have replaced some hose. The rest of the equip-
ment has been kept in good repair considering its age.
Much of this work was done by the Patrolmen on wet days.
In closing I wish to thank the citizens and all Depart-
ments in Town for their splendid co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
B. S. AMES,
Forest Fire Warden.

Report of SHELLFISH CONSTABLE
From December 1, 1947, to December 31, 1948
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
I hereby .submit to you my second report as Shellfish
Constable of the Town:
The total value of shellfish taken from waters in the
Town during the period December 1, 1947, to December 31,
1948, is as follows:
Clams
,+. n nnc en
p J,GGJ.VG
Quahogs 27,296.00
Scallops 10,128.00
$40,649.62
CLAMS
During 1948 there has been a large reduction in the
value of clams dug in the Town—from $7,089.25 in 1947 to
$3,225.62 in 1948. This is due to the fact that very little seed
has come into Barnstable Harbor, and the seed that has
shown, disappeared within a year. During July and August,
clams were dug from an area planted two years ago, but
these were not up to standard, and the amount taken was
much less than that planted. Therefore, I do not recommend-
a large planting program. during 1949, unless conditions
change. At the present time no one is digging clams for com-
mercial purposes.
PROPAGATION AND PROTECTION
The Town employed two men, part-time, from May to
December, who gathered and destroyed 31,928 cockels, 6,315
212
horseshoe crabs, and 435 sand collars. I recommend that this
work be continued.
QUAHOGS
1948 was another good year for the men, as the price
was again above average, and they were able to get their
limit most of the season. Last spring we transplanted from a
contaminated area in Hyannis a total of 210 bushel-120
bushel planted in Lewis Bay and 90 bushel planted in Cotuit
—which we hope to take up in the spring of 1949. There is a
lot of seed in North Bay, Osterville, which will be available
next summer.
RAZOR FISH
While there is quite a supply of razor fish available,
very few are.being used for canning. As of December 31,
1948, only two permits have been issued.
SCALLOPS
The.scallop season opened in November with about forty
commercial permits issued. The price in 1948 was slightly
lower in comparison with previous years. The issuance of
permits for family use was introduced in the Town in
November, and this has been a great help in keeping people
from out of town from taking as many scallops as previously.
At the present time there is quite a lot of seed which wa
hope will survive the winter.
GENERAL
All I have to report on the areas granted to individuals
for the planting of shellfish, is that they have not been very
successful in growing clams.
Beginning in November, permits were issued for the
taking of all types of shellfish for home use. A separate per-
213
suit must be obtained for each type of shellfish with a limit
set on the amount to be taken.
The above is a brief outline of the shellfish industry in
the town of Barnstable.
Respectfully submitted,
CHESTER S. JONES,
Shellfish Constable.

Report of the PLANNING BOARD
For 1948
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
During the year of 1948 your Planning Board has held
meetings for the consideration of matters pertaining to the
development of the Town.
Considerable thought and attention have been given to
the possible revisions in the Zoning Ordinance which was
presented to the voters at the Town Meeting in March 1948
and failed of approval. Although the Board believes that
the proposed ordinance was sound, several changes have,
been suggested and the revised ordinance will be submitted
to the voters this year. The Board has been in consultation
with one of the best authorities available and hopes that the
voters of the Town will realize that the regulations as sug-
gested are necessary for protecting and conserving property
values of the Town and for assuring progressive and sound
development.
The Board is constantly concerned about the problems
of traffic and parking facilities throughout the Town, and
most particularly in Hyannis. The Board voted to approve
and to recommend the acceptance and improvement of a 40-
foot road running from Main Street to North Street in Hy-
annis at a point midway between Bassett Lane and High
School Road, if and when the property owners offer the nec-
essary land to the Town for this purpose.
The Board believes that it would be advantageous to
consolidate the functions of some of the committees and
commissions of the Town. We especially advocate the con-
solidation and cooperation of the Park Commission and
215
the Playground and Recreation Commission particularly in
the matter of maintenance.
It seems to members of the Board that the voters do not
understand and do not take full advantage of the functions
of their Planning Board. The Board stands ready to discuss
with any committees, organizations, or individuals any prob-
lems which properly come within its scope, and would wel-
come questions or suggestions at any time.

Report of
BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
It is not at all surprising that we should find the tre-
mendous post-war increase in the cost of living deeply re-
flected in the additional cost of all categories of relief. How-
ever, there was also in 1948 a slight increase in the number
of people seeking assistance. This was particularly notice-
able during the months of January, February and March
and again in December. Apparently this trend will continue
in 1949.
We have stated many times in our past reports that em-
ployment on Cape Cod is of a much more seasonal nature
than in non-resort towns. In "boom times" such as we are
now enjoying, unusual building activity is doing much to
extend the usual period of employment through the winter
months. We fully realize that this sort of activity is not going
to long continue. When we have even a mild recession in
business, welfare costs are bound to increase beyond any-
thing previously experienced, partly because of higher living
costs and partly because our population has increased in the
past few years far beyond any corresponding increase in
year round employment.
Were it not for the Unemployment Compensation being
paid to large numbers of our citizens by the Division of Em-
ployment Security, our relief costs would undoubtedly be far
higher than at present. We are informed that about 1400
Cape Cod residents were drawing such benefits early in
January.1949. Thus the fact is brought home to us that even
in these "prosperous" times we have a substantial number
of unemployed. This is merely one of the disadvantages
217
which partially affect the many advantages the town derives
from being so heavily dependent upon its seasonal recrea-
tional business.
In 1948 the total cost of the three,categories of relief
over which the Board of Public Welfare has jurisdiction in-
creased some $46,000 to $286,804.27. Reimbursements from
the Federal and State governments, from other towns and
cities, and individuals, totaled $174,680.72. This left the
total net cost of relief to the town $112,123.55, or approxi-
mately $3.35 on the tax rate.
The total increase of $46,000 mentioned above was made
up of increases in the various categories as follows: Public
Welfare $11,000; 1ilU to LG1JG11Uenli vuiaureii y. ,.. ,
Age Assistance $22,300.

Report of the TOWN COUNSEL
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit herewith the report of the Town Counsel for
the year 1948.
Ac the beginning: of the year there were three land
damage and three personal injury cases pending in the
Superior Court. These have remained inactive. An action
brought by the City of Boston in 1947 seeking recovery for
welfare payments is still pending in the Suffolk Superior
Court. The anneal from a decision of the Board of Appeals
started toward the end of the year 1947 was dismissed by
agreement. One land damage case against the Town was
brought as the result of a taking by eminent domain by the
Park Commission, authorized by vote of the Town, of two
parcels of land in the Ridgewood area of Hyannis. This case
was tried in the Barnstable Superior Court during the Octo-
ber session. The jury determined a value of $6,000.00 and
awarded the sum of $6181.94 including interest from the
date of the taking as damages. Several claims for personal
injuries from highway and sidewalk defects were made. How-
ever,no suits based on these claims have been brought against
the Town.
Dr. Herbert T. Kalmus has completed a third gift of
land to the Town and it is expected that the Town meeting
will have for its consideration the acceptance of a fourth gift
of land at Dunbar's Point. The continued generosity of Dr.
Kalmus is greately appreciated and it is pleasing to note
that the Town has started a program of development for
this area.
Following the last annual Town Meeting the work of
editing, indexing and recording of the Town's by-laws was
220
completed. Shortly thereafter these were printed and pub-
lished in booklet form. The committee could not change the
wording of any by-law nor could it be' given authority to
change, strike out or amend any by-law or ordinance. This
can only be done in a Town meeting.
It was the intention of the committee to index and ar-
range the booklet in such forin that one could readil3- find all
ordinances dealing with particular subjects and with par-
ticular offices and departments. It is believed that this has
been accomplished.
This should make the problem of simplification, clarifica-
tion and amendment to meet existing conditions much easier.
It is therefore recommended that particular officers, boards
and committees consider those by-laws with which they are
particularly concerned and after study, make recommenda-
tions for such changes as they desire. In like manner it is
recommended that individuals interested in particular sub-
jects covered by these by-laws also propose such changes as
to them may appear desirable. The building inspector has
given careful consideration to this problem and it is be-
lieved that as a result a building code will be proposed to
take the place of articles 4, 5 and 6 of chapter 3 of the by-
laws. It is recommended that this proposed building code be
adopted and that the present articles be repealed.
The Planning Board will again present to the meeting
a comprehensive plan of zoning. The present so-called
zoning by-law was adopted in 1929. In substance.it is noth-
ing more than the transfer to one board of officers of the
absolute power to grant or deny a permit with the right of
appeal only in the case of a denial. The voters have adopted
no plan for the Town's future development nor have they
fixed any rules to which this board may look for guidance.
There are no rules calling for the same treatment in the same
cases. There can be no guarantee to the interests of the
private citizens of the Town until such rules are adopted.
221
It is to the credit of those who have held these positions since
1929 that more errors of judgment have not been made. It
would seem obvious that it is unnecessary for the Town to
wait for such errors or even a series of the same to occur
before action is taken. It is therefore strongly recommended
that the comprehensive plan for zoning be ZD
given full sup-
port and be adopted.
No effort is made to set forth in detail the handling of
the usual legal affairs of the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
KENNETH E. WILSON,
Town Counsel.

Report of
INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
There were a number of dog and cat deaths which had
characteristics of poison, although I sent those that were not
decomposed for laboratory test but no positive proof of
poisoning. I strongly urge that in the use of poison of a
type dangerous to animals either the Health Department
or Cape Cod Extension Service be consulted.
The number of livestock within the town continues to
decline. One of the most common answers is the present high
cost of feed.
There were an unusually large number of dog bites this
year, which I am unable to understand and sincerely hope
this is merely a coincidence which will not persist in the
future.
I urge all persons feeding garbage to swine to cook it
first; many towns require this by law. Trichinosis bacteria
is picked up by the swine from garbage containing infected
raw pork scraps. This bacteria is then conveyed to the hu-
man by eating of raw or poorly cooked pork. There are cases
of this,disease on the Cape at the present time.
There are also indications that the Cape still has a few
infected rabbits, so protect yourself from rabbit fever by.
following the standard rules when handling any and all wild
rabbits.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT D. CHASE,
Animal Inspector.

Report of the
WEST BARNSTABLE CEMETERY
COMMITTEE
Instead of a report on the expenditure of the appropria-
tions for the ancient graveyard and the new cemetery in the
West Parish, your committee urges all who are interested
to inspect the work done.
In the old graveyard the little trees have survived their
first two perilous years and seem well established. The old-
est stones have been cared for and several almost obliterated
inscriptions re-lettered. Visitors no longer need to walk over
tough little bushes and briars to find the old graves. in the
new plot the jungle of trees felled by the hurricane among
low pines and scrub oak has been cleared, the good trees
saved and trimmed, and roads and entrance planned. With
Crocker Park adjoining this makes the roadside attractive
to thousands of people who drive through the old village on
their way to Centerville and Craigville Beach.
We earnestly desire inspection and hope for approval.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
The Board of Health has had its usual busy year, com-
municable disease showed an increase which was in line
with statewide rise. One case of poliomyelitis was found
and one suspected case of polio was transferred to Boston.
Neither case was paralytic.
Mrs. Anna Caskin and Mr. Robert Chase continue their
untiring- efforts to improve our service. Mr. George Chur-
chill was appointed Plumbing Inspector.
The District Nursing Association is an invaluable asset
and is most fortunate in its personnel. The Department has
had cordial relations with the County Health Department
and with other Town Departments.
The following communicable diseases were reported
to the Board of Health:
German measles 2
Chickenpox 39
Whooping Cough 3
Diphtheria 1

REPORT OF DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION
To the Barnstable Board of Health:
As we assemble our facts and figures for the calendar
year 1948 we find them comparable to those of previous
227
years. Our activities have followed along the same routine
and our personnel has remained the same.
The demand for bedside nursing in the home has con-
tinued at about the average level and takes precedence in
our program. Other visits in the home for Pre-natal advice,
Child welfare and general Health Supervision have brought
us in contact with many families.'
Our monthly Well-child conferences and our annual
Eye clinic for the school children have been well attended'
and we feel we reach children in this way who otherwise
would be overlooked.
The Chest clinic held once a month at the Cape Cod
Hospital by the Barnstable County Sanatorium and the
clinic for Crippled Children under the supervision of the
Massachusetts Departtuent of Public. Health are both a `meat '
source of help. We make arrangements for patients to at-
tend these clinics.
The cooperation of other health agencies including the
Barnstable Board of Health is very gratifying and gives
us encouragement for the year ahead.

Report of the
BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH
DEPARTMENT
Reports of communicable diseases received by this de-
partment show that come of the minor childhood diseases
were very prevalent in the county during the .year. Both
chicken pox and mumps were reported in greater frequency
than during 1947. Cases of measles were fewer than during
the previous year. Protection against those diseases where
a satisfactory immunizing agent is available: Viz: Small-
pox, dipltheria and whooping cough has been well carried
out in this county, with a consequent absence of both small-
pox and diphtheria and reduction in the number of cases
of whooping cough.
Diseases whose occurence and spread in a community
is usually associated with the physical environment of the
people were not unduly prevalent during the year. One case
of tularemia was recorded and one outbreak of food intoxi-
cation consisting of 17 cases occurred.
However, many unrecorded cases of mild or moderately
severe gastro-intestinal disturbances have been noted. These
were probably caused by various filterable viruses and their
nature raises the question as to whether they might not be
spread through water and food supplies. In this connection,
it may be noted that of 152 private water supplies investi-
gated by this department, 55 or 36%, were not considered
approved sources of drinking water.
Protection of food supplies still occupied a major por-
tion of the time of our sanitary inspectors and a survey of
our records indicate improvements in this field.
229
Some progress seems to have been made in the field of
individual hygiene with particular reference to child hy-
giene. This is to a great extent a matter of health educa-
tion and this in our opinion is the most neglected phase of
the public health program in this'county.

Annual Report of the
BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
3t the annual Town Meeting the sum of $7000.00 was
appropriated for the Park Commission.
It is assumed that the Park Commissioners were to
maintain the nine parks under their jurisdiction plus Park
Square and six grass plots which are not under their juris-
diction. With $5000.00 earmarked for labor plus $500.00
for truck expense plus $1000.00 for the Cotuit Memorial
Park this left the Park Commission $500 nn r___ i,,,.
apUVV.VV 1Vl' bllG improve-
ment of the other fifteen plots which they are attempting
to maintain in such a manner as to justify the name Park.
This Commission also believes that in the interests of
efficiency and economy that land owned by the town such
as parks, playgrounds, ballfields and beaches should proper-
ly fall under the jurisdiction of the Park Commission which
normally is the housekeeping unit of a municipality.
With this in mind we have inserted articles in the
Town Warrant asking that certain lands be transferred to
the Park Commission either as a park or a playground. If
further study finds that there is land owned by the town
and controlled by another agency or owned other than by
the town, that should properly come under the care and
maintenance of The- Commission or if the Commission has
property under its control which should properly be under
another agency we will recommend its transfer to the ap-
propriate department.
It has also met with the Playground and Recreation
Commission and the Town Counsel and through the member
232
that sits on both boards discussed the transfer of play-
grounds held by .them to the Park Commission.
The Commission after some diligence, has obtained
plans from the Town Engineering Department of lands
known to be under their jurisdiction or that are at present
being maintained by them. This study is not completed but
in the following• paragraphs it is noted what action is being
taker with regard to these properties.
HYANNIS
Ridgewood Park: This has been cleared of the heavy
undergrowth and the land cleaned up. Further development
of this area will be carried on by the Commission but does
not involve the expenditure of funds at this time other than
the ordinary weekly-payroll for labor. The Commission has
invited the Playground and Recreation Committee to place
some playground equipment here and make any other use
they see fit to carry out a recreation program that has been
requested by the residents of the vicinity.
Ocean Street Park: This has been maintained as usual.
In addition posts were erected to keep vehicles from travel-
ling along the edge of the bulkhead which in the opinion
of the Commission is unsafe for this purpose. An under-
ground garbage receptacle and three rubbish barrels were
placed at convenient locations for visiting yachts and others
and serviced by the maintenance crew.
It is proposed to make a parking area at the South end
of this park to match the one at the North end and enclose
the grass plots -,pith concrete curbing. It is also proposed
to set some Cape Cod lanterns on posts through the park
and connect, them to the underground cables installed for
this purpose another generation ago.
Lewis Bay Park: This Commission would like to call
233
attention to the fact that this property cost you, the voters
of this town, $38,000.00 back in 1926. Since then outside
of the W.P.A. funds practically no money has been spent
here. We are of the opinion that no intelligent decision can
be made regarding this park without taking into considera-
tion Kalmus Park and therefore we are inaking no recom-
mendations relative to the Lewis Bay Park until the status
of Kalmus' Park is definitely settled. This is another reason
why this Commissioni believes parks and playgrounds should
be centralized under one agency.
COTUIT •
Cotuit Memorial Park: 'Phis is an outstanding example
of :Chat can he accomplished by co-operation. This park
has reached its present status as one of the prettiest if not
the prettiest in the town, even though the central part is
not completed, by the active interest of the local Park Com—
mittee mittee and the Park Commission.
At the request of this Committee we have asked for
$1000.00 to continue the building of the central part. It is
the opinion of the local committee that if the balance of this
work is done in one operation the town could be saved a sub-
stantial sum, so they have asked for an addition $1500.00
in a separate article for this purpose.
HYANNISPORT
Hyannisport Park: This is a poison ivy patch facing
on the water in a fine location. It cost the taxpayers of this
town $14,625.00 in 1924. With the exception of raising the
"breakwater at one end of the beach and erecting a guard
rail fence next to the road we find no record of any im-
provements to this property so it it still remains a $14,000.00
poison ivy patch. It was voted by the town to lease this
for three years to the Hyannisport Civic Association.
It is recommended,that this park be improved. The
234
Cotuit operation has set a precedent that can be followed
to advantage for all concerned not only in Hyannisport but
other areas of the town. As the first step in this improve-
ment the Commission has asked for $1000.00 to fill and grade
this area.
CENTERVILLE
Memorial Park
Chester Park
Monument Square
Grassplot: The maintenance of these areas have been
have been carried on as usual. Since Monument Square and
the Grassplot near Kelley's Garage are not park property,
we have inserted articles in the.warrant to take this prop-
erty by eminent domain for park purposes.
OSTERVILLE
There are no parks in Osterville, although the Commis-
sion has been taking care of the triangle at the intersection
of Main Street, and Parker Road and the one at the en-
trance to the cemetery and a small grass plot in front of
Community Center. Since this is not park property the
Commission proposes to discontinue any further work on
these plots and notify the proper agencies concerned. If
possible, we suggest the people of Osterville contact the
Commission if they are desirous of transferring land to the
Park Commission either as a park or a. playground.
MARSTONS MILLS
There are no parks in Marstons Mills, but the Com-
mission has maintained the grass plot on which the memorial
plaque is located. Since this is part of .the highway, the
Commission proposes to discontinue its work here and notify
that department. We also make the same suggestion to the
people of Marstons Mills that is made to Osterville.
235
WEST BARNSTABLE
Crocker Park: The Commission has spent considerable
time on this park in the past and is continuing the mainte-
nance of this property. However, there are possibilities to
utilize this park to a greater degree and recommendations
will be made for this at a later date.
Sandy Neck: This consists of a strip of land believed
to be 40 feet wide running from the parking area to the
beach. To the best of our knowledge no money or time has
ever been spent on this land. Recommendations will be made
in the near future.
BARNSTABLE
As far as we know there are no parks in Barnstable
Village.
It is suggested that the Park Commission be allowed
sufficient funds to carry on a progressive program of re-.
judenation in the parks and other lands under their juris-
diction to the extent that these parks will justify the exist-
ence of a Park Commission and become an outstanding asset
to the people of this town.

Report of
SEWER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
We respectfully submit the following report pertaining
to the Sewer Department.
During the past year the sewer system has functioned
with very little major trouble.. Three reports of trouble,
one on Main Street,, one on North Street, one at pumping
station, none of which required suspension of service. The
first two reports of trouble were caused by roots. The last
was by the failure of one of the check valves.
The total sewerage pumped in 1948 was 96,240,000 gal-
lons, an increase of 8,616,000 gallons over 1947.
The filter beds are in excellent condition and all eight
have been used this year. Grading of road to the beds has
been continued this year.
The equipment in the pumping station is in good con-
dition; some wear of the pump impellers and housings has
been reported to the commission. The commissioners plan
to purchase one new pump impeller and housing assembly
and one new shaft with universal joint to have on hand
when needed.
The number of new connections to the system are six-
teen.

Report of
THE TOWN ENGINEER
To the Board of Selectmen
I submit herewith, the seventh annual report, of the
Town Engineer.
As has been stated in previous reports, the require-
ments of the Engineering Department are constantly be-
comin, more complex.
In addition to the work on the Assessors' Map, the De-
partment is more frequently called upon to perform duties
which require greater Engineering knowledge and judg-
ment.
The statement was made, very recently, that many of
the taxpayers have little use for this Department.
However, it is interesting to note that the cost of main-
taining this Department has constantly decreased since it
was set up by the Planning Board in 1927.
Taking the time between 1927 and 1947 inclusive, in
periods of seven years each, the appropriations for the De-
partment have totalled $64,555.00, $46,900.00 and $37,652.82
respectively.
During the period from 1927 to 1942 inclusive, more
than $23,600.00 was expended to private interests for Sur-
veying. From 1942 to date this expenditure for surveying
by private interests has been practically nothing.
238
This is, we believe, a good record, when it is considered
that since your present Engineer came to this Department
in 1934, we have performed Surveying and Engineering
duties which would have cost considerably more than
$10,000.00. This work had previously been let out to private
interests:
The Department is fast approaching an extremely
crowded condition and in order that more and better work
may be accomplished, there must be more working and
filing space made available.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of
THE BARNSTABLE PLAYGROUND
AND RECREATION COMMISSION
At the Annual Town Meeting of 1948, the sum of
$14,000.00 was appropriated for a Recreation Program in
the Town of Barnstable.
Recreation programs under this Commission are being
held in Barnstable, West Barnstable, Cotuit, Hyannis, Mars-
tons Mills, and Osterville, which was closed at the end of
March and used only for special events.
• The following programs were held in these villages:
BARNSTABLE: The Recreation Commission, in co-
operation with the Community Service Council, is offering
a well rounded program of activities to children and adults.
The Woman's Chub has been equipped for basketball, as
well as other games—also, movies, dances, and special
parties.
CENTERVILLE: The Centerville branch had no in-
door program, due to the fact that there was no suitable
building to carry on indoor activities.
COTUIT: The Cotuit program operates in Freedom
Hall,where dances, ping-pong, shuflleboard, and other activi-
ties are offered. A basketball court, with the floors marked,
has been set up this year, and has shown a great partici-
pation.
HYANNIS: This center, at 290 Main Street, on second
floor, consists of two rooms, which are-used for arts and
240
crafts for children and adults, meetings, and an office. A
large number of children attend activities here,and adults
from every village in the Town of Barnstable participate in
crafts which include the following projects: Metaleraft,
block printing, ceramics, decorating, jewelry making, draw-
ing and painting, leathereraft, wood carving, metal foil and
poster making, as well as lettering, decorating furniture
and trays. These activities are expanding every week. There
are over 400 registrations of children and adults who attend
these activities.
Also, in Hyannis, the American Legion Home is rented
and three basketball leagues, Junior and Senior boys, and a
girls' league are operated here. This year there were six
teen-age dances, and a six piece orchestra was supplied
gratis by the American Federation of Musicians.
MARSTONS MILLS: An Athletic Association is very
active in this community, and plans a program for the young
people. The Recreation Commission supplies this group with
the necessary equipment to conduct such activities This pro-
gram includes ping-pong, shuffleboard, cards, checkers,
dominoes and dancing.
OSTERVILLE': The Osterville Center was used on a
part-time basis for dances during the summer, and in the
fall the floors were sanded and relined for basketball, and
used on a part-time basis until December 24th, at which
time a fire broke out at 6:00 a.m. in the morning and de-
stroyed the roof and sides of the building. Furniture, tools,
and work done in the craft room was saved.
WEST BARNSTABLE: In the early part of 1948 the
West Barnstable Improvement Association became interest-
ed in a program, and acquired the use of the building at
one time as a Town Office. Here a program of activities in-
clude dancing and dancing instruction, boxing, parties,
241
cards, checkers, cribbage, dominoes, and special events. This
Center has been improved by the Association by painting
both the inside and outside, and by the addition of curtains
inside. Our indoor program offers a variety of activities,
such as arts and crafts, basketball, boxing, cards, checkers,
cribbage, dancing, dramatics, and special parties, such as
Hallowe'en and Christmas, tournaments, and magic, dra-
matic and coin collecting clubs.
OUTDOOR AREAS AND PROGRAMS
The regular summer program of swimming and base-
ball was conducted by the Recreation Staff.
Three lifeguards were added to the Recreation Staff
fnr t,hP v�immPr gPwgnn which starts the lattgr part of .Tnne
and ends on Labor Day. Hathaway and Joshua Ponds were
supervised, and daily instructions in swimming were given
to both beginners and advanced swimmers. A special appro-
priation of $1,000.00 was turned over to the Recreation Com-
mission to :improve the Town Landing at Lewis Bay, where
a safety area was built and tables and benches supplied for
a picnic area. Sand was carted in and spread, and a life-
guard placed there to supervise and instruct children in
swimming, at these ponds and Town Landing. More thau
250 children received various Red Cross Certificates as a
result of having successfully passed their swimming tests.
At, the end of the summer water events were conducted at
both ponds and much interest was shown in the swimming
and diving contests. Minor crafts were conducted at each
pond, and were very popular activities. Outdoor painting
classes were also conducted and were very well attended.
Special events were conducted on the 4th of July—a bicycle
race for all classes at 11:00 a.m., and finishing at Hatha-
w2y's Pond where there was a weiner roast, which over 500
children and adults attended',. The same was done at Jos-
hua's Pond. At the close of the season in September, special
events were run at both ponds. These events included a
242
water ballet, swimming races, and waterfront activities.
Both Osterville and Hathaway's Ponds were cleared of
brush which made it easier to reach the entrances .
The highest participation, in one day, of swimmers dur-
ing the hot summer months at Joshua's Pond was 300; Hath-
away's Pond, 500; and Town Landing, 100.
The Junior Baseball League was comprised of teams
representing,• Cotuit, Hyannis, Osterville', Barnstable and
Centerville. Centerville won the pennant this year.
Three adult groups interested in entering baseball
leagues this year were assisted financially by the Recrea-
tion Commission. These teams were known as the Barnstable
Townies, Osterville Vets, and the Cotuit team. Most of these
players are veterans and a great deal of interest was shown
by the three groups participating. Our baseball school, con-
ducted by the Boston Red Sox, was held again this year in
Hyannis. It is the plan of the Recreation Commission to
have another such event in the coming• year.
Our outdoor program is comprised of the following—
baseball, baseball leagues, Town baseball team, Red Sox
tryout school, horseshoes, minor crafts, picnics, swimming
instruction and volley ball.

Report of the
HYANNIS AIRPORT COMMISSION
AND MANAGER
T1,e Hyannis Airport Commission in this, its third an-
nual report, calls the attention of the citizens of Barnstable
to the o•rowing importance of our municipal airport to the
economic welfare of our town and of all Cape Cod.
A steadily hl-creacing nnmher of summer reside-nt;s are.
using the airport for regular commuting, and more and
more privately owned or company owned executive planes
are based here throughout the summer. Statistics on pas-
senger and plane traffic in the appended report of the Air-
port Manager offer convincing evidence of the trend.
The problem of the future growth and wise operation
of Hyannis Airport is of importance and concern to the
Commission and to all citizens and taxpayers. Several steps
lcokng to future developments were taken by the Commis-
sion during 1948.
For the primary reason of safety, and supplementary
reasons of easy access to the public, efficient handling of
traffic, and for revenue possibilities, the administration
building as well as the entire group of airport buildings
must sometime in the future be moved to a site near the
Hyannis rotary traffic circle. The necessity of this step is
clear. The Civil Aeronautics Authority has already coun-
seled it for safety reasons and might, in the future, require
it, since the administration building is at present too close
to the runways.
246
This change being only a question of time, The Com-
mission this past ,year began in a. small measure to prepare
for it, by grading between twelve and fifteen acres of land
near the traffic circle. This will place more of the field with-
in view of the present highways, and have the site in readi-
ness when removal of the buildings becomes feasible.
A second needed improvement of the same nature was
the lengthening of the East-West runway, a distance of
1250 feet on the easterly end by brushing out and grading.
This runway, with completion of the clearing and grading
work, will be more than one mile long, and well suited as
an instrument landing runway.
Looking into the immediate future, the Commission
has recommended to the Finance Committee and the citi-
zens two imperative needs. First is the sealcoating of a sec-
ond runway: one was done in 1947; the second and third
should be done in 1949 and 1950. Engineering advice is that
this is essential, both from the standpoint of safety, and
efficiency. Cracks are already developing in the untreated
runways, and it is uneconomical to put off the work.
The second essential need is the making of a master
plan for future development of the airport. This is no fanci-
ful, imaginative projection, but an actual engineering plan
needed for future work. When and if federal or state funds
are available for airport, development, a master plan must
be on file to secure allotments. It is a requirement which
cannot be waived and if we are not ready, we will get no
consideration. Both the C.A.A. and the Massachusetts Aero-
nautics Commission advise it.
During the past year most of the contracts for services
at the airport continued as previously. The taxi service, in
accordance with a state law and upon expiration of an exist-
ing contract; was placed on a license fee basis open to all
247
taxi operators of the town on equal terms. The gasoline and
other petroleum products concession, as of September 1 was
taken over by the Commission and from that date all pro-
ceeds accrue to the benefit of the town.
The Commission held twelve regular and five special
meetings, a total of seventeen meetings, and inspected the
airport on numerous occasions. Citizens of the town are
cordially invited to visit the airport, or to bring any mat-
ters pertinent to the airport to the attention of the Com-
mission.

AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT FOR 1948
Seventeen thousand, nine hundred and fifty-four per-
sons made use of the facilities at the Hyannis Airport
(Barnstable Municipal Airport) from January 1, 1948, to
December 31, 1948. Northeast Airlines, the only scheduled
certificated Civil Aeronautics Administration air carrier,
carried 9,839 passengers with private, commercial and mili-
tary aircraft carrying the remainder 8,115 passengers.
Northeast Airlines completed 1,180 flights for an average
of 3.2 arrivals and departures per day carrying airmail and
air express as well as passengers.
Private, commercial and military aircraft using the
field and facilities totaled 2,087 of which 1761 were single
engine type and 326 were multi-engine. The increase in pas-
248
Fenger traffic of 1948 over 1947 amounted to 555 which
seems slight, but the explanation lies in the fact that in 1947
approximately 205% of the aircraft arriving were manned
by GI flight trainees stopping at the airport for gasoline,
oil, and service while on their required cross-country navi-
gation hops. Taking this fact into consideration the actual
visitors to Cape Cod were far greater than the figures show,
as the GI training program. was materially curtailed in early
1948 by the Federal Government.
The limited floor space on the main floor of the adminis-
tration building created a serious congestion during the
rush of the summer season so it was decided by the Airport
Commission to renovate and equip with lounge chairs the
large room on the second floor. In addition it was necessary
to lower the window casements so that the airport activity
might, be observed by waiting passengers.
Field improvements consisted of bulldozing and grad-
ing the area of land adjacent to the rotary traffic circle
on the airport where it is ultimately planned to erect a new
administration building. It is planned by the Civil Aero-
nautics Authority to make the East-West runway the in-
strument landing runway which is now 4,120 feet long, but
not long enough, so with this in mind work was authorized
by the Airport Commission to cut down all trees and bull-
doze an area for extension to the East. The work is now in
progress and when completed will extend the runway to
5,370 feet, which is ample for the purpose.
The concession for student flight training, aircraft
rental, charter flights, air photography and air freight is
held by the Cape Air Service, Inc., which reports the follow-
ing activity for the year. GI student flight training includ-
ing dual and solo time was 1,757.4 hours. Rental of their
aircraft to qualified pilots totaled 312 hours. Pilots for the
corporation flew better than 100,000 miles on special and
249
emergency charter trips. 442,734 pounds of newspapers and
miscellanous cargo was carried by the service.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS'
SERVICES ORGANIZATION
`CARRY ON"--Every service man has heard that com-
mand at sometime or other and so this department has car-
ried on for the past year in the same manner as noted in the
second paragraph of last year's report. We found this year
that the individual requests for other than financial aid, re-
quired more time and effort to procure satisfactory results,
due probably to the fact that the problem in question is
many times of long, standing and pretty well messed up be-
fore we get it. Financial aid, better known locally as Veter-
ans' Benefits, has shoN-%,n improvement in routine handling,
due in part to the present State Commissioner's clarifica-
tion of his rules and regulations concerning the same and
the continued co-operation of the various Town Officers.
In accordance with recently revised Sec. 9, Chap. 115,
General Laws; the Selectmen appointed Harvey J. Field,
Sr., to care for Veterans' Graves located in sixteen ceme-
teries in the Town. He has carefully visited the many graves
and noted the location and condition of them all. He has
identified them as far back as Early Indian Wars of which
there are two; Revolutionary War, twenty; War of 1-812,
ten; Mexican War, two; Civil War, one hundred, forty-
three; War with Spain, six; World War I, twenty-eight-
World War II, ten; totalling two hundred and twenty-one.
In addition forty-one War Markers found in the various
cemeteries, (most of which were Civil War and no positive
identification could be made), were on lots without head-
stone or monument. Headstones for Veterans' graves, pro-
vided free by the Federal government are available upon
written request through Mr. Field or this office. All graves
253
reported needing attention such as filling, trimming grass,

To continue our closing remarks in last year's report,
please be advised that a few more conscientious War II
1%eterans have had their discharges photostated (no charge)
at the County Court House. Others of previous wars have
notified this office direct. We thank all of them. This office
has found in several instances in each of the towns we
serve, that records available here have expedited and aided
the dependents as well as the veteran to obtain the various
benefits as provided by Federal, State and Local govern-
ments.

Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
Your School Committee herewith submits its annual
report for the year ending December 31, 1948 including
therein the Report of the Superintendent of Schools.
The committee held ten regular meetings and twenty
special meetings throughout the year.
An itemized financial record is included in the Superin-
tendent's Report. The appropriation.f or schools for 1948 was
$350,000.00. The sum of $3,625.06 was received from other
sources, making a total of $353,625.06 available.
The total reimbursements from all sources amounted
to $58,127.35 making the net cost to the town $295,497.71
for the support of schools in 1948. These reimbursements
do not come directly to the schools but go into the General
Fund, and therefore have the overall effect of reducing the
amount necessary to be raised by town taxes.
Building Program
We are pleased to report, that the Osterville School
Addition for which you appropriated $147,500.00 during
the year is being constructed and will be ready at the open-
ing of school in September 1949.
The next step in this program should be your consider-
ation of a new elementary school in Hyannis, the need of
which must be apparent to everyone. Your particular atten-
tion is called to the description and to the cuts of the pro-
262
posed elementary school for Hyannis which are included
in the report of the Superintendent. These should be studied
carefully and we urgently request that you support your
School Committee in this program.
We wish to thank you, the citizens, for the support and
interest you have shown in your schools.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK L. HULL, Chairman;
RUBEN E. ANDERSON,
JEAN G. HINKLE,
JAMES F. SHIELDS, JR.,
CARL A. FRASER,
School Committee.

Recognition of Faithful Service
ANN H. BEARSE
During the year the school department has lost through
retirement the services of Mrs. Ann H. Bearse, who has
given a total of thirty-one years of her life to the girls and
boys of Barnstable. We wish to express our sincere apprecia-
tion and admiration for her loyal and efficient work during
these years. She has served the town as a teacher in the
schools of Centerville, Osterville, Hyannis and Barnstable,
bciou.I ng prin%ipai of tiie Barnatabic vTiiiagc �cUh 10vv.
It can be said sincerely that Mrs. Bearse was "a born
teacher." For thirty-one years she was devoted to her duty
giving both of her ability and of herself to those students
who were fortunate enough to be in her classes. Quiet, dig-
nified, faithful—a lady, a mother and a teacher—she per-
formed her duties.
We extend our earnest hope that her good health will
be restored and that she may enjoy the happiness and satis-
faction that must come to one who has served children so
conscientiously and honorably through so many years.

DEVELOPMENTS
It is a pleasure to report that the fine cooperation shown
by members of the staff of the school department has con-
tinued and has resulted, I am sure, in improvement and prog-
ress in many phases of our work.
Better teaching methods, new teaching aids and tools
have been utilized. Consequently, numerous changes have
occurred and many worthwhile experiences of which -,ve may
be proud have been conducted with youngsters in the vari-
ous schools. However, I am calling to your attention one
significant development indicating progress in each of the
schools.
Barnstable Village School: Through the cooperation and
assistance of the Barnstable.Village Parent-Teacher Club and
the Federal government, a kitchen and lunchroom was cre-
ated in the basement of the school and a school lunch pro-
gram inaugurated.
Centerville School: In this school a fourth classroom was
equipped and a regular full-time teacher was employed. This
change should relieve the teacher-load and thereby improve
the teaching efficiency of the school.
Cotuit School: A new modern heating system was in-
stalled replacing two antiquated hot air furnaces and a
small boiler.
Hyannis Training School: A regular full-time teacher
was added to the staff. This addition made it possible to ar-
range three sixth grade classes of twenty-eight pupils each
rather than two groups of forty-two each.
Osterville School: The construction of an addition to
the Osterville'S66ol is underway and will be ready for oc-
cupancy in September 1949.
266
West Barnstable School: Through'the° cooperation and
assistance of the West Barnstable Improvement Association
and the Federal government, a lunchroom was started in the
West Barnstable School a year ago. This project completed
its first year with unusual success. The project is a coopera-
tive endeavor in which each pupil in the school assists in the
operation of the program.
Marstons Mills School: This school has enriched its
curriculum through increased emphasis on health, safety
and science.
Barnstable High School: In December 1948, the Iowa
Tests of Educational Development were administered to
pupils of grades 9, 10, 11 and 12. Four graphs follow which
show the relative .standing of these grades when compared
with the same grades in 148 high schools throughout New
England and.the Middle Atlantic States.
These tests measure what might be called the "funda-
mentals of a general education." The "fundamentals" are
the educational skills or abilities that all high school pupils
should have as part of their general education. They are the
necessary background for. all other specialized training.
Four of the fundamentals are:
1. The ability to understand and use the English
language (Tests 3, 7 and 8)
2. The ability to do practical, everyday arithmetic
reasoning (Test 4)
3. Knowledge of the principles of the natural
sciences and ability to think straight about com-
mon scientific matters (Tests 2 and 6)
4. Knowledge of the principles of the social sci-
267
ences and ability to think straight about com-
mon social problems (Tests 1 and 5)
In addition to the test in the "fundamentals of a gen-
eral education,"it will be noted that there is one test on the
"Uses of Sources of Information"—Test 9.
It will be noted that in every grade in every test, Barn-
stable High School rated above .the average. The dotted
lines on the tables which follow indicate the average scores
made on the various tests by the schools involved.
Table 1 may be read as follows: The average score of
ninth grade pupils in Barnstable High School on Test 1 was
i___.i_..__ than ii_ �_ L__ onm r �nr
11ighe" than he average shore made by OG7O Of the 1GJ
schools administering the tests in Grade 9.
As further illustration of how to read the following
tables, we shall use Test 3 in Grade 9. Test 3 in Grade 9
shows that the average score of ninth grade pupils in Barn-
stable High School on this particular test was higher than
the average score made by 97% of the schools administering-
the tests. In other words, Barnstable High School ranked in
the top three percent in this particular test.
In the graphs which follow the test numbers indicate,
the following:
Test 1—Social Studies Background
Test 2—Natural Science Background
Test 3—Written Expression
Test 4—Quantitative Thinking
Test 5—Interpretation—Social Studies
Test 6—Interpretation—Natural Sciences
Test 7—Interpretation—Literature
Test 8—General Vocabulary
Test 9—Uses of Sources of Information

Barnstable Trade School: A steam generator has been
installed which will enable us to bend timbers and thereby
make it possible to build larger boats.
Barnstable Evening School: The Practical Arts program
has been expanded this year to include vocational classes in
rug-hooking, dressmaking and tailoring.
BUILDING PROGRAM
In the school report of a year ago the School Committee
published the Summary and Recommendations of Dr. Her-
bert Blair of Boston University, an educational consultant
on school housing, after he had made a detailed study of the
Barnstable school building problems.
In his report we find the following statements:
"Only second to having well trained, experi-
enced and skillful teachers in the classroom the
building itself and the facilities provided deter-
mine to a large extent how successful the children
will be in their program through school."
"The most pressing school problem for the
Town of Barnstable is to provide an adequate ele-
mentary school building for Hyannis."
"Probably second in importance in the list of
school building needs for the Town of Barnstable is
an enlargement of the Osterville four room school
to a .six room building."
What has been done about this situation?
At a special town meeting held on August 23, 1948, the
citizens unanimously voted to appropriate:
1. $135,000.00 to build an addition to the Osterville
School.
273
2. $7,500.00 to purchase a plot of land of approxi-
mately twenty acres on Bearse's Way for the
proposed Hyannis elementary school.
3. $8,500.00 to supplement Federal funds received
under the War Mobilization and Reconversion
Act of 1944 for the purpose of plan preparation
for the proposed Hyannis elementary school
building.
At another special town meeting held on November 3,
1948, an• additional $12,500.00 was appropriated for the
Osterville School addition making the total for this project
$147,500.00.
Some may wonder why the Osterville School was started
first when the crying and immediate need was for an ele-
mentary school in Hyannis. But actually the School Commit-*
tee began preparations for both projects at about the same
time. Developments in the proposed Hyannis school occurred
more slowly because a plot of land had to be selected and
purchased before detailed plans and specifications could be
started.
Osterville School
At the present time the addition of four classrooms to
the Osterville School is well underway and is to be com-
pleted and ready for the fall opening of school in 1949.
Two of the classrooms only will be finished and used for
the present. The remaining space will be finished for use as
a pupil recreation room and hall for the community.
The work included in the construction contract, includes
the building of the addition to conform in general to the
present school with red brick walls, one story and basement,
with pitch roof covered with slate and the flat portion with
tar and gravel.
274
The plans also call for:
I. The removal of existing toilets in the basement
of the present building.
2. The installation of new tiled toilets on the first
floor of the new addition.
3. The installation of a new boiler plant and chim-
ney.
4. The replacement of hot and cold water piping in
present building with new material.
5. The installation of a new septic tank.
Provisions are made in the contract for the equipping
of this addition.
Proposed Hyannis Elementary School
The plans for the proposed new school adopted by the
School Committee after careful study and consultations
with the educational advisor and architects provides in gen-
eral for a one story school covering a ground area of 45,000
square feet. The school building will be of colonial design
with red brick exterior walls, white trim, and low pitch
roofs. There will be no basement, except a small portion for
a heating plant.
The school will set back 150 feet from the street and
will be parallel -%vith the front line of the lot, running north
and south to give desirable natural light exposures to the
classrooms.
The main entrance to the school will be in the center of
the front for accessability by the public to the administra-
tive offices. Pupils who are transported will enter and leave
the school from covered shelters at the rear of the building.
Traffic roadways connect with the main thoroughfare at the
275
north and south boundaries of the lot and extend around the
school to the shelters in the rear. Driveways and walks lead
from the street to the school and auditorium. Parking spaces
for community use are provided adjacent to the building.
At the rear of the school a large area is provided for
supervised play. activities. The sm111er children have seg-'
regated play areas.
Twenty-two classrooms will be provided with a total
pupil capacity of seven hundred. Classrooms for the fifth and
sixth grades will be on the second floor of the center portion
of the school, with toilet facilities and retiring rooms for
the.teachers. The classrooms have large window areas, and
will get the benefit of maximum amount of natural light.
Each classroom is fitted to carry on the highest type of
educational program.
Features of the plan arrangement are the convenience
of operation of the school and the safe egress of the pupil
population, a factor that has received the commendation of
the Massachusetts State Board of Public Safety.
The care of equipment used in the upkeep of the grounds
has been considered and storage space at ground level at the
rear of the school has been provided for the purpose.
Finished grading, planting of shrubbery, building of
walks and related work is all part of the plan for the con-
templated school to leave the project completely finished and
ready for occupancy by the school. It is estimated that the
construction work will take about a year to complete after
the contract with the builder is executed.

"WILLIAM AND ELIDA LOVELL COLLEGE
LOANING FUND"The late Elida W. Lovell left to the Town of Barn-
stable the sum of Ten Thousand ($10,000) dollars, the inter-
est or income of which is to be used as a loaning fund to
worthy boys and girls of the Town of Barnstable towards
the expenses of their college education, such boys and girls
to be selected by the School Committee of the Town of Barn-
stable, said fund to be known as the "WILLIAM AND
ELIDA LOVELL COLLEGE LOANING FUND."
The Barnstable School Committee has established the
following rules and regulations concerning this fund:
I—Application
All applications for a loan from this fund shall be made
on an application form which may be secured at the Office
of the Superintendent of Schools in Hyannis. The filing of a
completed application must be made before final action shall
be taken by the School Committee. Applications must be
signed by the applicant and the parent or gurdian of the
applicant.
II—Notes
1. Each applicant granted a loan must sign a non-inter-
est bearing note provided by the School Committee. This
note must be countersigned by the parent or guardian of the
applicant.
2. The original note signed by the applicant is due on
January 1 following the student's full-time attendance at
college.
3. The original note may be renewed by application to
the Barnstable School Committee. The second note shall bear
interest at five percent per annum and shall be for a period
of one year.
4. Subsequent notes shall be negotiated at the discre-
tion of the Barnstable School Committee.

COMBINED REPORT OF THE SCHOOL
PHYSICIAN AND THE SCHOOL NURSE
During the year 1948, complete physical examinations
were given to grades 1, 3, 7, and 11. Boys' and girls' athletic
teams were examined in order to make sure that they were
physically fit for competitive exercise. All school bus driv-
ers received their annual physical examination.
Eyes of all students were examined and corrections of
defective vision were made either by the student's private
doctor or through the Clinic held at the Cape Cod Hospital
sponsored by the District Nursing Association.
A very successful Toxoid Clinic was conducted by Dr.
Frederick L. Moore, County Health Officer in the Town of
Barnstable. A total of 523 school and pre-school children at-
tended this clinic.
Periodic classroom inspections are routine throughout
the year and individual cases of symptoms of communicable
or acute diseases are cared for and referred to the family.
physicians for treatment.
The pre-school clinic was very successful with 149 in
attendance. However, this attendance is not yet 100 percent
of the entering class. We would like to point out the fact
that this examination is important and urge all parents who
have children entering school in September to take advan-
tage of this opportunity.
Emotional and behavior problems are cared for by the
Child Guidance Clinic. A comprehensive study of problems
of this type is time consuming and involves a great many
factors.
An audiometer test for hearing was given this year
with the County owned Westinghouse Electric Audiometer
and cases needing help were referred to the Massachusetts
Eye and Ear Infirmary. Progress is being made in the medi-
cal field in the correction of deafness in school children. Deep
X-ray therapy and radium treatment are proving of great
value.
282
A new Maico Audiometer has been purchased by the
School Committee and will be extremely valuable in testing
hearing. This new equipment will enable the children in the
first and second grades to be tested and signs of early deaf-
ness may be detected and corrected.
In many respects the Health Program for the schools
of Barnstable has progressed and each child is receiving
more detailed and individual attention. However, there is a
definite need for a school dental program. A great many of
the school children have very poor teeth. The health educa-
tion program stresses the necessity for each child to see the
dentist at least once a ,year. In some school areas this has
proven fairly successful, however, the problem is recog-
nized by the,school as an economic one. The Board of Health
is the authorized agent in this community to conduct dental
corrective work. It is to be hoped that some solution to this
problem may be worked out in the• near future.
We are very appreciative of the assistance and co-
operation given to us by the County Health Officer, family
physicians, parents and health and welfare organizations in
maintaining a high type of a School Health Program.
CONCLUSION
I wish to thank you, the School Committee, for vcur
helpful assistance and cooperation during the past year.
I should like to take this opportunity, also, to indicate mi
sincere admiration to the members of the teaching staff for
their splendid service and for the high standards of instruc-
tion that they have maintained for the young people of
Barnstable. May I express,my appreciation for the excellent
support that has been given me on many occasions by vari-
ous members of the school department, by many of the c_ti-
zens of the Town, and by the many community agencies and
departments with whom I have come in contact.
Respectfully submitted,
MELVIN C. KNIGHT,
Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
FELLOW CITIZENS:
The writer has nearly completed t-,venty-one years of
service as Selectman of your town.
Since 1929 extraordinary changes have come about.
It has been difficult for all of us to adjust ourselves to
the swiftly moving changes that affect our every day way of
life. Naturally the same is true in the administration of
our public affairs, national, state, and town; and it can be
said without exaggeration that your Selectmen have been
confronted with more and harder problems to solve in con-
ducting the town's'affairs for the past twenty years than
faced former Selectmen in all the previous hundred years
put together.
In two decades we have passed through the greatest
depression our country'ever experienced;then came the great
war when more than twelve hundred of our youth were under
arms serving us in the greatest war the world has ever
known, and at the ,same time we suffered grievously from
the disastrous hurricane of 1944.
We have now had about five years of peace or it may
prove to be only a sort of armistice.
We see on every hand a feverish activity. It seems as if
we were desperately striving to make up in a short time for
all that was lost in the way of progress between 1929 and
1945.
7
i
This is the writer's last report to the torn as a Select-
man and he feels impelled to state once more that had it not
been for the excellent character and firm sense of public
duty of all the town officials you have seleeted, he never
would have been able to serve you all these years with any
degree of satisfaction to the people or himself either. The
Selectmen have received cooperation well nigh one hundred
per cent.
Although there is always room for improvement in every
house, the citizens of the Town of Barnstable have no reason
'to apologize because of the manner in which its public offices
are conducted.
There is always great temptation for a public official to
yield from time to time to small pressure groups for political
reasons even against his own judgment of what\is in the
public interest.
This sort of thing is absent in this town to a,remarkable
degree, and the writer feels sure that the vast majority of the
town's citizens join with him in hoping that state of affairs
will endure.
In this book you will find an'account of your last annual
town meeting,how much money.you raised and appropriated,
and how your/various officials spent it at your directions.
The writer believes there are few cities or towns indeed
whose officials can display to the citizens a better yearly ac-
counting of their stewardship.
The writer must at this time take the opportunity to ex-
press his thanks and heartfelt appreciation of the confidence
and trust you have placed in him by electing him for seven
consecutive three year terms.
Y
CHESTER A. CROCKER,
Chairman of the Board of Selectmen.

REPORT OF ASSESSORS
As will appear from the Assessors' tabulated financial
summary which follows, the Town of Barnstable is now in
that relatively small group of Massachusetts towns which
appropriate more than a million dollars annually for the
expenses of municipal government. This large sum,—
$1,318,170.26 for town purposes and $179,993.24 for State
and County taxes and*assessments—totalled $1,498,163.50
which had to be provided for the financial year of 1949.
Applicable against this grand total were receipts of
$401,128.00 which the Assessors estimated the Town would
obtain from Income and Corporation Taxes, Motor Vehicle
Excise Taxes, Licenses, Public Welfare and Old Age Assist-
ance reimbursements, etc. Also the town had voted to take
_$65,613:50 from surplus, so that the net amount to be raised
by taxation became $1,031,422.00.
This resulted in a tax rate of $30.00, which although
the highest in a number of years, was still among the lowest
in the state; the state average being about $45.00.
There are several reasons why the Town now finds it
necessary to raise a million dollars yearly. First, we have
grown very rapidly, our 1949 valuation being more than
$34,000,000. as against $25,750,000. ten years ago, a growth
of 33 Jo and our estimated population being about 10,000
compared with 8000 ten years ago. Secondly, inflation has `
devalued the dollar to such an extent that the town has to
spend substantially more for almost everything it does.
Thirdly, the town is temporarily at least in the process of
catching up, at added yearly expense, with the back log of
projects it necessarily deferred during the „jar years.
9
Under the circumstances, if our Barnstable tax rate
can be kept'at $30.00 or reduced somewhat for the next
few years, we should be quite content since the average
fax rate of Massachusetts towns is definitely going up. Un-
less the town meeting this year (1950) votes to spend con-
siderable sums in excess of last year's expenditures, our
tax rate for 1950 should recede to somewhere between $25.00
and $28.00 due to increased valuation and increased re-
ceipts from sources other than local property taxes.
It has been the ambition of the Board of Assessors to
do considerable real estate re-valuation work this past year
with a view toward more equitable assessments. We have
accomplished much less than we hoped. We cannot spend
all our time on assessment work since we are also Selectmen
and members of'the Welfare Board and have to spend much
time on these departments. The portion of our time allotted
to assessing has to be further segregated into office work
and field work. Re-valuation must be done mostly outside
the office. The greater portion of our time outside the
office this year had to be devoted to the valuation of new
construction, including both new buildings and alterations
to buildings previously assessed, As you will note from the
Building Inspector's Report building permits resulting in
the construction or alteration of some 730 buildings were
issued during 1949. Each building required at least one and
sometimes more visits from the Assessors to determine the
value to be placed upon the resulting construction,
t Furthermore, as everyone is well aware, the real estate
market .has been increasingly active since the war's end.
We are now processing in our office about a thousand trans-
fers of property each year. Each transfer of course, means
a change in assessment. Great care must be exercised to the
end that all property may be correctly assessed to the proper
owner. This consumes much time.
10 '
1
As a result of all the above, our work in equalizing
valuations has been seriously hampered for the lack of
time to accomplish it.
We believe the time has arrived when the town should
prepare to spend whatever stun is necessary to provide the
Assessors with additional assistance in accomplishing this
most important work. A few progressive Massachusetts
towns have hired outside professional appraisers to accum-
ulate all of the facts necessary to valuation determination
for each parcel of real estate in their towns. For Barnstable
this sort of service would cost at least twenty-five or thirty
thousand dollars, but would give an excellent basis for
equalized values. Other, municipalities have undertaken an
equalization program by placing additional employees at
the disposal of the Assessors, to obtain under their careful
guidance and direction, such information regarding the
size, construction, age, etc., of each building in town, as
in their opinion is required. The success of such a program
depends upon the ability of the employees hired and the
skill and intelligence of the Assessors in using" them. It
should cost substantially less than to hire an outside firm
to do the work.
If the town will vote the necessary funds we would
like to start re-valuation work on this latter basis some-
time this year. Everyone would feel much more certain that
he was paying his just share of the local tax burden if
lie knew his assessment was based on actual facts and
figures accurately determined. We hope, with the town's
cooperation, to provide such assessments in the near future.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
Division of Accounts
State House, Boston 33
July 26, 1949
'To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Chester A. Crocker, Chairman
Barnstable, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books
and accounts of the Town of Barnstable for the period from
April 22, 1948, to March 26, 1949, made in accordance with
the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the
form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assis-
tant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
FRANCIS X. LANG,
Director of Accounts.
'Mr. Francis X. Lang
Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston t
,Sir:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an
audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Barnstable
for the period from April 22, 1948, the date of the previous
examination, to March 26, 1949, the following report being
submitted thereon:
65
The books and accounts kept by the accounting officer
were examined, checked, and compared with the records of
the several departments in which money is collected or bills
are committed for collection and with the records of the
town treasurer.
i
The general and appropriation accounts in the ledgers
were analyzed, the appropriations, loan orders, and transfers
being compared with the town clerk's record of financial
votes passed in town meetings and with the finance commit-
tee's records of transfers from the reserve fund. A trial bal-
ance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance,
and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the
town on March 26, 1949, -,vas prepared and is appended to
this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex-
amined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed, the
recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the de-
partmental records of payments to the treasurer and with
other sources from which money was paid into the town
treasury, while the records of disbursements were compared
with the accounting officer's books and with the treasury
warrants.
The treasurer's cash balance on March 26, 1949 was
proved by actual- count of the cash in the office. and by
reconciliation of the bank balances with statements fur-
nished by the banks of deposit.
I
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and
interest were verified by comparison with the amounts fall-
ing due and checked with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the
investments of the trust and investment funds in the custody
of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income
being proved and the disbursements being verified.
GG
As considerable income is received by the town for park-
ing meter fees it is recommended that adequate records be
kept, and it is suggested that a separate record be kept for
each meter.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the
town were examined and checked in detail. The town and
district taxes transferred to' the tax title account were
checked to the collector's records, the foreclosures were veri-
fied, the redemptions of tax titles and sales of tax posses-
sions were checked to the treasurer's cash book, and the tax
titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and reconcile__
with the accounting officer's ledger.
The books and accounts of the town collector were
examined and checked. The town and district taxes, motor
vehicle and trailer excise, assessments, and departmental ac-
counts outstanding according to the previous examination
and all subsequent commitments were audited and proved,
the payments to the town and district treasurers were veri-
fied, the abatements were checked to the records in the de-
partments authorized to grant abatements, and the out-
standing accounts were listed and proved with the account-
ing officer's ledger.
Verification of the correctness of the outstanding ac-
counts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons
whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the
town and the districts, and from the replies received it ap-
pears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The town clerk's records of dog, sporting, and miscel-
laneous town licenses issued were examined, the payments to
the State being verified by comparison with the receipts on
file and the payments to the town treasurer being compared
with the treasurer's cash book.
67
The books and accounts of the treasurer of the District
Department of Veterans' Services were examined and
checked. The amounts received for the expenses of the dis-
trict from the towns comprising the district were verified.
The payments were compared with the warrants authorizing
the treasurer to disburse district funds, and the cash balance
on March 26, 1949, was proved by reconciliation of the bank
balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.
The records of the Veterans' Housing Committee were
examined and checked. The collections on account of de-
posits and rentals were checked to the payments to the treas-
urer, while the disbursements were compared with the ap-
proved warrants on file. The cash balance on June 30, 19497
was verified by reconciliation of the bank balance with a
statement furnished by the bank of deposit.
The appended balance sheet of the housing project as of
June 30, 1949, shows a net operating loss of $2,947.31, due to
failure to collect rentals when due. As of the above date,
there were accounts payable aggregating $9,690.94.
The financial records of the .selectmen, the sealer of
weights and measures, and of the police, health, and school
departments, as well as of all other departments collecting
money for the town, were examined and checked with the
treasurer's cash receipts and with the records of the ac-
counting officer.
The surety bonds of the financial officials bonded for
the faithful performance of their duties were examined and
found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance
sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the several cash
accounts, summaries of the town and fire district taxes and
.assessments, tax titles, and departmental accounts, together
68
with tables showing the condition and transactions of the
trust and investment funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was
received from the officials of the town and the districts, for
which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to
express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.

Report of
THE SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
I submit the following report for the year 1949.
The past year has seen the completion of another sec-
tion of Main Street which finishes the job from Sherman
Square to Park Square.
The following streets have been surfaced with some
type of asphalt:
Greenwood Avenue and Lincoln Road in Hyannis
Oak Street and Parker Road in West Barnstable
River Road and Lovers Lane in Marstons Mills
Old Craigville Road and Bay Lane in Centerville
Scudder Road and Hollingsworth Road in Osterville
Mill Road Race Lane
Seal coat has been applied to Strawberry Hill Road,
Old Craigville Road, Tower Hill Road, Swift Avenue, Wequa-
quet Lake, Mary Dunn Road, Bone Hill and Indian Trail.
Stone seal was applied to Race Lane under Chapter 90.
Drainage has been installed in West Bay Road, Bay
Lane, Willow Street, Tower Hill, Main Street, Scudder Road
in Ostervilley Barnstable Road and Bearse's Way.
Much is needed in all parts of the Town in the way of
drainage. We are asking again for an appropriation for
drainage for Main Street, Hyannis, to relieve conditions at
Main Street and High School Road.
Curbs or curbs and sidewalks have been built in the
following streets: North Street, Park Square, School Street,
Chestnut Street, Locust Street, Walnut Street, Pine Street,
Winter Street, Mill Way, Barnstable; Main Street, Cotuit;
Parker Road, Main Street, West Bay Road and Tower Hill
189
in Osterville. Asphalt top has been applied to many walk,
in all parts of the town that were curbed in previous years.
Another item that will need attention in the near fu-
ture is the new School Building on Bearse's Way which will
require the building of about one half a mile of curb and
walk to make it safe for children on this heavily traveled
road.
Owing to the amount of building going on, especially
on unimproved,streets and roads, it-has been necessary to do
an unusual amount of graveling.A few of the places graveled
are Harbor Bluff Road, Bay Road, Willow Street, North
Street Extension, Smith Dock Road, Huckins Neck Road,
Mary Dunn and Navigation Road, Hinckley Road, Baxter
Road, Hallett Road, and Otis Road.
Some-new fences have been erected and some of the
old repaired.
No stone sealing has been done as the cost of material
and freight was prohibitive.
In the past year about 190,000 gallons of asphaltic oils
were used in all types of road.work.
Building and equipment of the department are in good
condition. One new truck was purchased in 1949 and one
old one should be replaced in 1950. One of our greatest
needs at this time is a new street sweeper, for which we are
asking an appropriation. `
I wish again to thank the officials and committees of
the Town and also the citizens for their cooperation and
assistance.

REPORT OF ROAD COMMITTEE
January 23, 1950.
Town of Barnstable,
Selectmen's Office,
Hyannis, Mass.
Gentlemen:
On Tuesday, January 18, 1950, the Road Committee met
with the Surveyor of Highways, who presented the Commit-
tee with his estimated budget for care and maintenance of
highways of the Town of Barnstable for the year 1950.
This budget was itemized and broken down into its
major groups, the items totalling $118,650. The• item "snow
and ice removal" in a separate item in amount of $10,000.
In comparing the estimate for 1950 as against the esti-
mate submitted for the year 1949, the Committee notes an
increase of $4,500. This increase appears in three items,
namely: "labor," an increase of $2,000; "widening and
patching," an increase of $2,000, and "street cleaning," an
increase of $500.
Your Road-Committee, after carefully considering this
budget, approved the budget as estimated.
In addition to the itemized budget, the Surveyor of
Highways also submitted the following articles pertaining
to roads. These articles were discussed individually and each
article. has been approved by the Road Committee as noted
192
on the attached sheet, on which the several articles are
typed, as presented to us.

Report of
BUILDING INSPECTOR
January 20, 1950.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
The year 1949 has been the biggest building year in the
history of the Town of Barnstable. Comparative building
figures for the last five years show a steady increase in the
estimated valuation of new building:
1945 $152,400
1946 902,095
1947 1,211,160
1948 2,550,410
1949 5,415,740
The new building code'which was passed last year has
proven effective, and has done much to improve the class of
building in the Town..It means more work on the part of the
Building Inspector, but the results are gratifying.
With zoning a certainty in some of the villages.besides
Hya.nnisport, it looks as though the Building Department is
going to have a busy 1950, the Building Inspector being the
zoning enforcement officer.

Report of
TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT
January 27, 1950.
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
I am pleased to report that the large, Elm trees in the /
various villages are generally in good condition. Only a lim- ,
ite-d number of these trees (estimated at about 5 per cent)
are in poor condition and it is probable that they will have
to be removed within a period of ten years. These large trees
are gradually reaching the limit of their root growth and
when this occurs, it becomes impossible for them to take in
enough food in order to keep them in a healthy condition.
In most cases the cost and locations make it impractical to
fertilize, these particular trees. The ,young shade trees,
planted during the past few years, suffered severely from
the drought of last Summer. This Department tried to water
that 'n the Spring
till,-' 11eW' trees t,iitt� `vvcre uet ^�lt during p___a with a
water wagon, but the length of the dry spell made the de-
sired results difficult. These young trees will be given spe-
cial care and two feedings during the coming growing sea-
son, so that their normal growth will not be too greatly
retarded.
It was an excellent season to carry on the pruning and
routine work of this Department. The dry weather was ideal
for the pruning of the large shade trees and an extensive
program was carried on in the village of Barnstable, West
Barnstable, Centerville and Hyannis. It is our intention to
carry out the same program in the remaining villages during
the coming year.The low and broken branches were removed
from the trees in all the villages of the town. The large num-
19S
t
her of native pine, that are continuing to die, place an addi-
tional burden upon this Department because they must be
removed—due to their unsightly appearance and danger of
falling on the road's.
The tent caterpillar situation continues to show improve-
ment in the. infested areas when treated with DDT at the
proper time and the resulting control was very satisfactory.
The Elm Beetle infestation this year 'was considerably
above normal, possibly due to the extremely dry Summer,
which is known to be conducive to the spread of this disease.
,It was necessary to treat some of the large Elms in the vil-
lage with three applications where the infestations were
especially heavy. This disease. is difficult to control, because
it varies in location from year to year. Therefore, all the
Elms in the town have to be scouted every few days during
the cycle of hatching. It was necessary for our Department
to employ two crews during the height of this season, because
of the number of miles to be covered in this work.
The Dutch Elm disease continues to increase in other
sections of the state and each year moves closer to our
boundaries, but I am pleased to report that this disease has
` not been reported in our town or anywhere on Cape Cod.
This Department, cooperating with the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, thoroughly scouted the town for
this disease and found the entire area to be clear.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Tree Warden.

REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT
January 27, 1950.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
I am pleased to report that the results of the airplane
spraying of the Town of Barnstable for the elimination of
the gypsy moth proved very satisfactory.
Early in the Spring of 1949 the Moth Superintendents
in the various towns on the Cape joined together in the
fight to eliminate the gypsy moth. Several meetings were
held and it was decided that the most effective method of
combating the gypsy moth was to have the entire Cape
sprayed by airplane. The State Moth Superintendents and
the Federal Department of Agriculture convened and mapped
out this extensive campaign. This required a great deal of
detailed work as it was the first time a project of this size
had been undertaken in this section of the United States.
After the ground work was completed, the airplanes were
ready about the middle of May, to begin their work. After
the. first few days this project went along very smoothly—
weather permitting. Glass plates were placed at intervals
throughout the entire area to be sprayed in order to make
it possible for the Moth Superintendent to check the area
under his jurisdiction for adequate spray coverage. If any
areas were found that did not meet with the approval of the
Town Moth Superintendent, these areas were re-sprayed,
thus insuring a complete coverage for the entire town. When
the spraying had been completed, a moth trapping system
was established and these traps were checked at least every
other day for the next six weeks. In this way the actual re-
sults of the spraying were determined. The results from eac,
town were sent to the State Department where they were
200
checked against their records. This insured a comprehensive
check of the final results of the airplane spraying.
I am pleased to report that the results for the Town of
Barnstable were very satisfactory and a careful survey will
be carried on during the dormant season to check for gypsy
moth egg clusters. The outcome of this check will determine
how much spraying will be necessary during the coming
season.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Cape
Cod Standard Times and all other organizations and in&
viduals for the time and effort spent in the furthering of this
program.
The mist blower and hydraulic sprayer were in con-
tinual use during the spraying season, taking care of areas'
which were impractical to spray from the air. The results of
the operation of these machines with the new chemicals
available were highly satisfactory.
The Sandy Neck section of the town was also sprayed
from the air for the control of the Brown Tail Moth. The
airplane has made it possible to control this infestation in
large areas, which were previously inaccessible. -
During the past year the State Department of Conserva-
tion has transferred the control of the Dutch Elm disease
from the Tree Wardens to the Moth Superintendents. This
change made it compulsory for all towns to undertake meas-
ures to prevent the spread of the Dutch Elm disease.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Moth Superintendent.

Report of
FOREST FIRE WARDEN
To the Selectmen'of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my fourteenth annual report for the �
year ending December 31, 1949.
The Forest Fire Department responded to 50 fires which
started from the following causes:
10 burning
4 dump
5 smoking
2 train
14 children
3 incinerators
7 incendiary
5 out of town
50
It should be noted that there is an increasing percentage
r of fires starting from children and I believe every effort
should be made to keep matches out of the reach of the
younger generation. In spite of the Jong drought and our
frequent change of personnel in the Fire Tower, by the
State, during this season, we had a smaller number of fires
with the acreage burned less than 45 acres. A great deal of
credit belongs to the men on the Patrols who had an extra
responsibility.
Town Equipment
The Town flow has 4 forest fire trucks, 2 at O.sterville
202
r
Station, 1 at Centerville Station and 1 at West Barnstable.
This latter truck, in responding to a fire at the close of the
year, met with an accident. Fortunately no one was injured
and the truck is being repaired and will be in commission by
the time the Spring fire season opens.
In closing I wish to thank all and especially the various
Fire Departments for their cooperation in making this my
last year in the service a success.
Respectfully submitted,
B. S. AMES,
Forest Fire Warden.

REPORT OF SHELLFISH CONSTABLE
From January 1, 1949 to December 31, 1949
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: �
I hereby submit to you my third annual report as Shell- /
fish Constable of the Town:
The total value of shellfish taken from waters in the
Town during the period from January 1, 1949 to December
31, 1949, is as follows:
Razor Clams $700.00
Clams 300.00
Quahogs 24,829.00
Scallops 7,748.00
$33,577.00
CLAMS
The clam situation in Barnstable Harbor is about the
same as last year, and the small amount of seed that has
shown, disappeared within a year. In May, 1949, we planted
20 barrels of clams, mostly two inch clams, and dug them
in September, 1949, rather than leave them for another year.
The result was better, but we got only eight barrels from
this area. We hope to try another experiment in the spring
of 1950.
PROPAGATION AND PROTECTION
The Town employed one man full-time, and one man
part-tine from May to November 15th, who gathered and
destroyed 44,700 cockles, 4,728 horseshoe crabs, and 829
sand collars. I recommend that this work be continued.
205
We have taken up 64 bushels of starfish in Lewis.Bay,
Hyannis, near Egg Island, as they are an enemy of the
scallops. '
QUAHOGS
1949 was a fair year for quahogs, as the price was good
and•the men were able to get the limit most of the season.
In September, 1949, areas in Lewis Bay, Hyannis, and in
Cotuit were opened in which we had planted 210 bushel in
May 1948, and 285 bushel were taken out. We hope to trans-
plant 200 bushel this coming spring.
RAZOR CLAMS
There are ten or twelve men digging razor clams in
Barnstable; and selling them in the shell at about four cents
a pound. There is an abundance of these shellfish, and the
demand for them is great.
SCALLOPS
The scallop .season opened October 1, with approxi-
mately twenty permits issued, and the price about $5.00 a
gallon. At the present time there is quite- a lot of seed in
Barnstable and Hyannis, with slightly less in Osterville and
C.otuit.
GENERAL
All I have to report on the areas granted to individuals
for the planting of clams, is that they have not been very
successful.
Respectfully submitted,
CHESTER S. JONES,
Shellfish Constable.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
January 31., 1950
Your Planning Board has held regular monthly meet-
ings for the past year, also many special meetings which
various individuals or organizations were invited to attend,
for the purpose of studying particular phases of Town
Planning.
ZONING—The Board for the past two years has
recommended to the Town at its Town Meeting a compre-
hensive zoning plan for the entire Town. This plan,
although receiving a majority vote, was not carried, as a
two-thirds vote is required.
Last year an Article was prepared setting Hyannisport
as a "Residence A" area for special zoning. This Article
-vas adopted, and has proven very satisfactory to a big
majority of the residents of Hyannisport. Because of the
populariy of this "Residence A" Zone, the Board offered to
prepare laws and maps for similar zoning in other parts
of the Town. As a result of this offer, Centerville, Long
Peach, West Hyannisport, Cotuit. and Barnstable Village
have requested that they get the protection the Town gave
to Hyannisport.. As a result of these requests,,the Board
is presenting to the voter's at its Annual Meeting various
articles so that each Village may have an opportunity for
its own area to be voted upon separately.
HYANNIS RAILROAD PROPERTY — At a Special
Town Meeting, the Board recommended that the Town ac-
quire the Railroad property that lies between Main Street
and South Street. This Article did not receive sufficient,
votes to be carried. i
207
Au informal hearing was held relative to the prepara-
tionof a study incorporating razing of the present Railroad ,
Station and the erection of a new building adjacent to the
Airport; such a building to house all transportation needs,
including air, bus and railroad travel, together with ample
parking facilities. As a result of this Hearing, a special
coininittee was appointed by the Selectmen at the request
of the Board, and this project is receiving further study.
With the information that is available at the present time,
the Board recommends such a ,project.
SUBDIVISION LAYOUTS—The past year, the Town
has. had a sudden spurt of subdivisions and new home lay-
outs. Thee Board recommends that the subdivisions be so
developed that they will work together as far as possible
toward a master plan development. It is recommended that
subdivisions maintain the follo«ving minimum standards
wherever possible: Minimum overall width of roads-40 ft.;
minimum pavement width— 20 ft.; through roads requiring
heavier traffic to be made 50 ft.- maximum road grades,
10%; prohibit dead-end streets except under unusual cir-
cumstances, and then only if a turn-around with a minimum
75 ft. radius is provided.

Report of 1
THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
OF THE TOWN OF BARNST ABLE
Feb. 8, 1950
Through the first ten months of 1949 a slight increase
in all categories of relief was noted over 1948. However,
during the month of November a noticeable increase in Pub-
lie Welfare came about, mostly with employable people
lacking winter employment and this trend is continued
through the first, of the year and may increase during the
year, 1950. This Department has tried to overcome that to
some degree through the medium of new construction tak-
ing place in our town and has even gone to the extent of
trying to make labor arrangements with building con-,_
tractors and in particular the school contractors.
Although we realize that'the Cape almost, always has a
recession during the winter months, unemployment seemed
to increase more in 1949 than is normally the case. Projects
were setup whereby those aided could work on an hourly
basis in return for aid given. Much was accomplished with
the cooperation of the School Department on many worth-,
ivhile projects. The Board feels that the town benefited
considerably through the use of this labor.
In 1949 the total cost of the three categories of relief
over which the Board of Public Welfare has jurisdiction
increased from $286,652.41 in 1948 to $323,660.94 or a net
increase of $37,008.53. Reimbursement from the Federal and
State Government's, from other cities and towns and in-
dividuals total $212,102.60. This left the total net cost to
209
the town of $111,558.34, or approximately $3.27 on the tax
rate.
Under the Old Age Assistance law 222 persons were re-
ceiving assistance on January 1, with 49 cases added and
38 closed and there were a total of 271 cases aided during
1949; 233 were active cases on December 31.
UndeL the Aid to Dependent Children law 32 families
Were receiving assistance on January 1; 13 families were
added and 14 cases closed making a total of 45 families
cared for during the year.
General Relief aided a total of 142 families during 1949
compared to 128 for 1948, 85 cases on the rolls as of Decem-
ber 31.

INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
I
Gentlemen
I wish to call to the attention of all cattle owners that
in the prevention of Bangs Disease or Contagious Abortion,
the State Department of Livestock Disease Control will vac-
cinate, free of charge at the time of the Tuberculin test,
all calves between the ages of four months and breeding
age.
There were 39 dog-bites reported. These dogs were
placed under restraint and released when so ordered by the
State Control Department.
During December, I made the annual inventory. In
56 stables, I found 283 cattle, 35 horses, 15 goats, 173 s-%vh-ie
and 5 sheep.
i
I wish W caution all persons using any form of poison
for the control of insects or rodents, that there, are many
poisons which are dangerous to both humans and animals.
These are plainly marked and should be used only under
expert supervision.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
The year of 1949 saw the Board of Health carry on
its usual activities.
The communicable disease rate was in line with the
State-wide rate. There was some increase in poliomyelitis
but not what we considered to be epidemic proportions.
— The number of tick bites was considerably lower. There
was one case of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which re-
sponded rapidly to treatment at the Cape Cod Hospital.
The work of the Board of Health agent in conjunction
with the building inspector and the plumbing inspector was
markedly increased and it is to be reported that the work
of Mr. George Churchill, Mr. Robert Chase and Mr. John
Lebel was untiring and zealous. The marked increase .in
building caused them to have a difficult task but observa-
tion of the members of the Board of Health at any rate
has been that the plumbing rules and regulations have
been enforced, sometimes at considerable effort and trouble.
The District Nursing Association continues its fine
work and the Town is very fortunate to have such an
organization and is particularly fortunate in the make up
of the personnel of our group of nurses. We are happy to
assist them financially.
1Irs. Anna Caskin has had an increased amount of work
and has done it with her usual courteous and efficient
technique.
At the time of our budget last year we made no pro-
vision for a Dental Clinic, as there was no immediate pros-
212
pect of employing a dentist. However in the middle of the
year, we were fortunate to get Dr. Theodore P. Nelson and
the Clinic was again started.
During the dry season in the summertime, eve had to
get outside help to keep the dump in proper shape so that
no untoward fires would break out.
These two items caused us to go slightly over our bud- 1
get but both were worthwhile and necessary and the Town
received full value for its dollars.
The Town is growing rapidly and in many places
methods which' are satisfactory for rural communities are
not applicable to increasing13- crowded areas.
The restaurant situation is much improved over several .
years ago and the. Town can be proud of its eating places.
We decided during the summer to prolong the quaran-
tine period of any poliomyelitis contacts—inainly to be on
the safe side.
We are grateful for the co-operation of the County

MILD AND DAIRY INSPECTION: 1949
The town still maintains its excellent record of tuber-
culin tested cows. No reactors were found during the past
,year.
All samples of milk and cream examined were found
to be up to the State Standard. Quality is the same as 1948.
Due to the large number of Polio cases, reported this
year, quite a few rumors were started about our ponds beipg
unfit for bathing. These ponds were checked two and three
tunes and were found safe for bathing purposes. It is hoped
hereafter anyone hearing these rumors will call-the Board
of Health office for correct information.
The bacteriological examination of utensils showed an�
improvement of 20% over' 1948.

REPORT OF DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION
To the Barnstable Board of Health:
The work of the District Nursing, Association has 161 \
lowed the usual pattern in the past year.
Bedside nursing is our major activity and sometimes
216
tends to crowd out some of the Health supervision visits
we would like to include in our program.
We have entinued our monthly Well-Child conferences
and our annual Eye clinic for the 'school children, with
these clinics we try to reach'children who otherwise could
not have the advantages offered by these clinics.
The Chest clinic held at the Cape Cod Hospital by the
County Sanitorium fills a great need and the State spon-
sored Crippled Children's Clinic also held at the Hospital
is of great value especially this year in following up cases
of Poliomyelitis, this disease having been of epidemic pro-
portions throughout the state during the summer and fall
months.
We wish to express our appreciation to all other health
and welfare agencies for their co-operation ands under-
standing. 1

Report of the
BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH
DEPARTMENT
FOR THE YEAR 1949
i
The epidemics of chickenpox, measles and mumps which
commenced in the late months of 1948 continued through-
out the early months of 1.949. Cases of mumps have been
unusually prevalent due largely to the fact that the County
had escaped epidemics of this disease for several years.
In common with other parts of this state, an unusually
high number of cases of poliomyelitis occurred during the
summer and fall months. There were 25 cases reported to
this department, 16 of which were among residents of the
County and 9 were non-residents. There were 2 deaths, one
resident and one non-resident. Of the 15 surviving resi-
dents, 9 showed some evidence of paralysis. Several of these
cases are being followed up at the Crippled Children's
Clinics. Financial assistance, where necessary, has been fur-
nished by the local Chapter of the Poliomyelitis Foundation.
In the field of sanitation, increased attention was given
to private `eater supplies and sewage disposal methods, and
we have noted an improvement in this field with more ,at-
tention being .given by some owners and builders to the lo-
cation of private wells as related to sources of pollution,
such as cesspools, etc.
Inspection of food handling establishments have been"
carried out as usual and our records show improvements in
the very important item, cleansing and sanitizing of utensils.
The following table shows the results of swab tests

In the field of Child Hygiene, the Department con-
ducted several clinics for the examination of children be-
tween the ages of 1 and 6 years.
Better methods of testing• for hearing defects among
school children were promoted and more up to elate equip-
ment has been purchased by this department and several
of the school systems. A three clay course for the training
of teachers and nurses in methods of Vision and Hearing
testing vas sponsored.

BARNSTABLE HOUSING AUTHORITY
354 Main Street,
Hyannis, Mass.,
January 162 1950.
To the Selectmen of the Torn of Barnstable:
The activities of the Barnstable Housing Authority`in-
clude the development of a permanent rental project for
veterans as well as the management of the temporary hous-
ing project near the airport for the Town of\Barnstable. /
The temporary housing project consisting of 50 dwell-
ing units converted from Quonset\Huts, located near the
Town airport, was begun through the joint efforts of the
Town of Barnstable and the federal government. The man-
agement of this project was left to the Town under the im-
mediate direction of a manager appointed by the Town until
July 1, 1949, when complete management was given to
Barnstable Housing Authority. At the time this authority
was required to assume the management of this temporary
project under the law, 48 of the 50 dwelling units were
found to be occupied. An audit of the records was made by
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and it vas found that
there were unpaid rents of $5,967.45 and cash on hand of
$1,121.18, making a total of $7,088.63.available to pay bills,
if the outstanding rents could be collected. At the time this
authority assumed such management, the project owed ap-
proximately $10,000 in bills and unpaid taxes. It was ap-
parent that the temporarly project was then being operated
at a loss and would be a burden to the Town unless imme-
diate steps were taken to correct this condition.
Immediately upon assuming control, this authority took
steps to collect these outstanding rents and to put the project
on a self-supporting basis. At the close of the year 1949,
after six months under the management of this authority,
221
all outstanding bills to general creditors were paid in full
and the project showed a profit of $126.04. In addition, the
cash position of this temporary project had so improved
that this authority voted to pay the Town $3,000 on account
of taxes and rent for the use of this land, checks for which
are attached herewith. At the close of 1949, 33 of the 50 units
were occupied. Many of the units not occupied are unsafe
and unsuitable and it is the intention of this authority to
recommend their sale and removal as soon as possible. On
December 22, 1949, the federal government was requested
to relinquish any interest it might have in this temporary
project and shortly thereafter such interest was completely
'relinquished to the Town. At the present time, any profit
which may accrue in the future from the operation of this
project will be for the benefit of the Town of Barnstable and
any proceeds from the sale and removal of Quonset Huts
will likewise enure to the benefit of the Town.
With respect to the permanent project mentioned above,
this authority took certain land on Bearse's Way in the
Village of Hyannis by eminent domain and arrangements
for payment of fair value for this land are now being made.
It is expected that invitations to bid will be made shortly
and that ground will be broken in March, 1950.
When complete, this project will consist of 50 single
family low rent dwellings which will be available to veter-
ans and their families for rent on a basis of need.
This project will be completely self-supporting and
there will be no occasion for it to be a burden upon the
Town.

Report of
SEWER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
We respectfully submit the following report pertaining
to the SeAver Department.
The pumping station is in excellent shape and we are
very well prepared to care for any possible breakdown.
Two of the filter beds are showing signs of slowing
clown and are now not in use and will not be used for, the
next few months, when they_will be placed iii operation
again. The department realizes that two more beds will be
needed within the next two years.
During the past year we had only one major trouble,
corner of Main and Ocean Streets, but did not require the
suspension of service. One trouble of a minor nature on
Park Street, caused by tree roots.
The number of new connections is nine.
The total sewerage pumped in 1949 was 98,000,000 gals.

Report of
THE TOWN ENGINEER
I submit herewith, the eighth annual report of the Town
Engineer.
This report, if made in proportion with our ever increas-
ing duties, would need to be a very lengthy one.
However, we believe that the citizens of the Town are
fully aware of the importance of their Engineering Depart-
ment.
Our duties have included an increasing number of proj-
ects requiring surveys, plans, specifications and also super-
vision to completion.
We have engaged in providing Sewer plans, lines and
grades; Parking Lot surveys, plans and construction; topo=
graphic surveys and-plans for grading playground and school
ground areas including the new Elementary School lot; Mar-
aspin Creek and West Bay bulkhead area plans; highway .
surveys and layout plans, and numerous other duties relat-
ing to engineering.
In addition, we have located many dwellings for the
purpose of assigning street numbers in the Hyannis Postal
District.
Our office force consists of the same number as of fifteen
years ago while the demands on the office have more than
doubled.
We hope to engage an additional member for our force
this year which will undoubtedly help to increase the effi-
ciency and progress of the department.

Report' of the
HYANNIS AIRPORT COMMISSION
AND MANAGER
FOR 1949
Nineteen Forty-nine was a busy year at the Hyannis
Municipal Airport. Passenger traffic increased 44 percent
and all other branches of activity showed substantial gains.
In brief, in this fourth annual report, the Hyannis Airport
Commission can point to a year of satisfactory progress.
The Commission held 21 regular and special meetings
during the year. Some matters of importance handled were:
A new gasoline contract was entered into in January,
which enabled the airport to have two new aviation type
pumps and a new two compartment tank truck.
A claim against the Federal government under Public
Law 840, based upon damages to the property during war-
time use, has been completed and filed with the Civil Aero-
nautics Authority.
Further work on the master plan has been done by
Clarence W. Post, engineer, and it is now nearly complete.
This is the basic plan upon which future expansion will be
based.
Problems in connection with operation and maintenance
of the airport are always with us, being, in brief: keeping it
in good physical condition; increasing its use and thus in-
creasing revenues to the town; and planning for future
growth and public service.
230
The Commission is doing its best to see that these prob-
lems are wisely solved.

1949 AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT
25,054 passengers arrived or departed by airplane during the
year. Northeast Airlines, the only scheduled certificated
carrier, accounted for 14,289 with itinerant private and com-
mercial aircraft making up the difference of 10,765. The,air-
line activity marks the trend of all airport operation. During
1947 Northeast carried 8,036 passengers; in 1948, 9,838 util-
ized the service and last year the airline showed an increase
of 44 per cent over its previous record.
i
In addition to the regular airline traffic an estimated
150,000 charter miles were flown by aircraft permanently
based at the airport. Another factor which points up the im-
portance of the air, terminal to the Town of Barnstable is
that during the year 350,000 pounds of freight and news-
papers were carried from the port.
Visiting aircraft utilizing the facilities at the airport
boosted gasoline sales 261/4 per cent over 1948. Gasoline sales
have increased steadily since the town took over the airport
from the Navy in 1946. The gasoline concession is handled
by the town through the Airport Commission.
Cape Air Service, Inc., the/local flight operator, makes
`_'31
the following report of its activities: 1,562 hours of flight of \
which 630 hours were student rental and training 475 hours
of freight, express and newspapers and 457 hours of charter
and miscellaneous flying.
2,475 visiting aircraft were logged in during the year,
a gain of about 20 per cent over 1948. Although the gain
over 1948 is not too great our records show that there were
more large multi-engine type executive transports and the
smaller aircraft were the more expensive sportsmen's models
which it is safe to assume was more beneficial to the Cape
as a whole. ,
In addition to the arrival and departures of passengers
on the airline and in private commercial aircraft it is esti-
mated that 50,000 people visited the airport by motor car to
inspect the installations and watch planes landing and taking
off.
Many improvements were made to the airport and its
facilities during the year with the installation of a new radio
compass locator by Northeast Airlines. The locator was used
not only by the airline but hundreds of private flyers used
-it to guide them to the airport.
- The Northeast-Southwest runway was sealcoated to
protect it from the elements for several more years and 15
to 20 acres of woodland adjoining the runways was bull-
dozed clear to improve safety conditions. The 36 inch air-
ways beacon was put into continuous operation at the close
of the year and will constitute a permanent light fix for all
air navigation,

FREE PUBLIC LIBRARIES OF THE
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE
The library situation in the Town of Barnstable is un-
usual. While each of the town's seven precincts is served by
its own free public library, none is town owned nor com-
pletely town supported. This situation exists because of the
manner in which the libraries were founded. All, save the
library in Barnstable, which is the gift of one man, came
into existence through community movements in which in-
terested citizens banded together to establish and maintain
libraries for their villages by voluntary contributions.
Since no statement on our public libraries has ever been
published in our town report, and .since the good health of
these institutions is of interest to every citizen, the Town
Library Committee, in accordance with Article 16,voted at
last annual town meeting, has prepared this report. It con-
sists of a general statement, a report from each library and
a report on school libraries.
Social libraries in which members paid dues and circu-
lated books among themselves existed in this town as early
as 1800 and manuscript records of one serving Barnstable
and another serving' Cotuit, Marstons Mills and the western
part of the town, are in the Sturgis Library. Our first free
public libraries came into existence in the 1860's, and by
1900 each village had its\own. All, in time, have become
charitable corporations, chartered by the Commonwealth for
the purpose of maintaining public libraries.
Down to 1920, all seven Barnstable libraries depended
234
entirely upon the gifts of friends for support. In that year
the town voted $1,000 for books, to be apportioned among
the libraries by a committee of one member from each pre-
cinct, appointed by the moderator. This sum was annually
voted until 1939, when it wa.s raised to $2,500. In 1949 it was
increased to $7,500, for general library expenses.
Until this larger town assistance, most of the libraries
were approaching serious financial straits, for all library
costs had increased substantially while revenues from gifts
and funds remained about the same or decreased. Necessary
upkeep to the buildings.-%va.s being postponed and'in some
cases the principal of bequests was being used for current
expenses. Therefore the increase in town aid this year was
of invaluable assistance. On the other hand, the Library
Committee feels that the town is well repaid in the library
services it receives, and that under our present situation,
wise and economical expenditure of town aid is effected.
In brief, for a town library appropriation substantially
less than in any comparable town in the Commonwealth,
Barnstable citizens have available the services of seven pub-
lie libraries, adequately covering our large town. All, as is
necessary to receive town assistance, are "free" and "pub-
lic" libraries.
The division of funds by the Library Committee is
made each year. This year's allotment follows: Barnstable,
$1,150; Centerville, $950; Cotuit, $950; Hyannis, $2,150;
1lIarstons Mills, $650; Osterville, $950; West Barnstable,
$600.
In addition to the reports on the seven libraries, the
Committee has appended here also a report on the School
libraries, to show their relation to the library system, and to
indicate that there is no duplication of services but that
village libraries extend and supplement the school libraries.
235
It is earnestly hoped that, after reading these reports,
many citizens will be prompted to join those already making
good use of our library facilities.

Barnstable.—The Sturgis Library
In 1645, only six years after the settlement and incor-
poration of the Town of Barnstable, the pioneer inhabitants
built for their beloved first pastor, the Rev. John Lothrop,
a new home, situated on the north side of a sandy way later
to be known as King',s Highway, and still later as U. S.
Route 6, or just plain Main Street, Barnstable.
Mr. Lothrop's new dwelling was what we call a half
house. As the years rolled on other owners altered and added
to it: first by a room on the west, making it a full Cape Cod
cottage; then by raising of the roof in front, making it what
we call the salt box type; and finally, by raising of the roof
in the rear, thus leaving it a large, two-story Colonial house.
In this house, in 1782, was born William Sturgis, son of
William and Hannah Mills Sturgis, the father a Revolu-
tionary War soldier and a master mariner, who died when
his son was but 17. At that age, the family being poor,
William went to sea as a common sailor. At 19 he took com-
236
I ,
wand of the ship Caroline. Then, as a master in the North-
west fur trade, in the. triangular trade with the Northwest
and China, and for many years as a Boston shipping mer-
chant, Captain William Sturgis lived a distinguished, fruit-
ful life spanning 81 years.
Although during much of his life he resided in Boston,
Captain Sturgis never forgot Barnstable. The Lothrop house,
his birthplace, had passed into other hands. He returned in
1862 and bought it. In 1863, by a trust indenture, he gave
the historic old house, with a fund of $15,000, to maintain
forever "a free public library for the use of the inhabitants
of the Town of Barnstable."
First trustees were Lemuel Shaw, the Barnstable man
who presided as chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme
Court for 30 years, Samuel Hooper and Edward J. Hooper.
After .sonic remodeling of the west wing of the Lothrop
house., they opened the new library, first in our town, in
1867. It has ever since served the community, and to a con-
siderable extent the town, for all inhabitants of the town
are free to use it.-In 1915 it was incorporated as the Sturgis
Library, for the purposes set forth by Captain Sturgis.
Many years ago the Boston Transcript described this
library as having the oldest home of any in the country.
None has arisen since to gainsay its distinction as possessor
of: "the oldest library building in.America." Because of•
this, because of its historic origin as the home of the town's
first minister, and because it is undoubtedly the oldest sur-
viving building in our town, the Sturgis Library deserves
our thoughtful care.
Interesting in its collection are many volumes given by
Captain Sturgis himself, his sea library of books on naviga-
tion, on travel, charts of the Northwest, and the like. The
library possesses the only complete file in existence of the
Barnstable Patriot, dating to 1830, as well as several vol-
umes of early Cape Cod newspapers, all irreplaceable and of
237
inestimable historical value. The trustees earnestly hope
that funds may become available so that, for safety, these
files and other rare documents may be preserved, either in
a fireproof vault or micro-filmed. This need is urgent.
From 1920, when the town first voted aid,"until 1949,
the most this library received any year was $150. Although
this was helpful, the increased cost of everything has handi-
capped the library. The larger sum voted last town meeting
has been of great assistance.
J Nearly three quarters of the $1,150 allotted us was de-
voted to essential work on the building, principally a com-
plete exterior painting, and the repointing of both chimneys.
Much remains to be done. We hope the grounds may be land-
scaped and a parking space laid out. We hope that all may
continue to be proud of this institution so intimately con-
nected with the town's long past, which now so fortunately-
combines an historic landmark with a free public library.
Last winter a new group was organized, the Friends of
the Sturgis Library, to aid the library financially and stimu-
late interest in its service to the community. In the first year
the Friends have given more than $200 worth of new books
to the library.
During the summer of 1948 Miss Elizabeth C: Nye re-
tired as librarian after serving faithfully for 54 years. Pres-
ent trustees are: Mrs. Algernon Coolidge, honorary trustee;
Mrs. Anne Coolidge Moore, Mrs. Harriet Ropes Cabot, Fran-
cis H. Lothrop, Alfred P. Lowell, Mrs. Alexander Crane.,
Miss Mary Mortimer, and Donald G. Trayser, managing trus-
tee. The library has 15,841 volumes; annual circulation three
to four thousand; borrowers, 166. Miss Marie Taveau is li-
brarian. It is open 2 to 5 Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,
and 7 to 9 Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The Centerville Library
Eighty years ago the village schoolmaster, Eugene Tap-
238
pan, called upon the village to organize the Centerville Li-
brary Association. The little group met at the home of
Squire Ferdinand Kelley on Main Street in March, 1869 and
formed an organization which has continuously served the
community since that time. For many years the library had
no formal home, but occupied a shelf or two in the general
store or the village wheelwright's, where on Saturday after-
noons, no doubt, volunteer librarians circulated the books
and periodicals.
In 1881 a small building was erected upon the present
site which was to serve the community until 1897, when the
old structure was removed and the present one built. Many
changes have taken place in this little seaside community in
those fifty years. The sea captains' houses, many of them, are
occupied by ,summer residents; the sandy village road with
its gates and bars has given way to a black pavement and
the speeding motor car; the old school house has been remod-
eled; the village store is a modern marekt; while the hour
glass elms thoughtfully planted so many years ago have been
for the most part spared to us, despite the ravages of two
hurricanes.
The library has strived in this half century to keep pace
with the increasing demands of a growing village, though
for many years it has had very inadequate quarters for its
books, which have increased from the 300 of its early days
to some three or four thousand volumes. In,library hours its
doors are open to all who seek in books for information, rec-
reation, study and inspiration. Very young children search
its shelves, the school child fresh from school wants to find
the answer to his problem, the student comes here for his
reference work, the busy mother for her leisure time reading.
This year, to give more space for books, reference and
recreation work, the library is building a room at its north
end, containing also a small bathroom and kitchen..
Centerville Library has served and is serving the com-
munity through its books, but it extends its hands of service
239
even wider. It reaches out to its non-reading public as well,
through its carefully planned calendar of community events.
These occasions are brought to pass with a three-fold pur-
pose in mind. First, the library wants to reach and extend its
area of service to all the community, to the non-borrower as
well as to the reader. Secondly, it is the library's aim to keep
alive in the village as large a measure of country village ac-
tivities in which whole families participate, as is possible.
Thirdly, the library wishes through its varied and interest-
ing activities to promote good will among long time residents,
summer people and the casual visitor and help to build in
turn a real feeling of responsibility toward all community
organizations.
Thus far this season the following activities have taken
place in Centerville under the auspices of the village library.
In September the library became a flower and harvest show,
presenting autumn's bounty at this golden season. In October
the total eclipse of the moon was made the occasion of an
eclipse party on the library hill. A telescope was set up and
all the young people in the village with a generous helping
of parents gathered here to witness this great event in the
heavens. In November the days of cranberrying when Cen-
terville was young, were celebrated with an afternoon at the
library. At this time one who remembered her girlhood days
gave a fine talk on "going cranberrying," bringing up many
memories among others who were present. Old cranberry
measures and scoops were on exhibit and berries were dis-
pensed from an ancient separator.
Ate Christmas time the annual story hour,which has come
to be always associated with this season at the library, was
heard, a quiet and lovely hour for young and old to begin
the festive days.
The Centerville Library Association officers are: Presi-
dent, Miss Ruth H. Cummer; vice-president, Leo A. Childs;
secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Stanley Buckler; librarian, Mrs.
Nelson Bearse. Its circulation in 1949 was about 5,600 vol-
240
. t
umes. The library is open three times a week, from 7 to 9 on i
Tuesday and Saturday evenings, and 3 to 5 on Thursday
afternoons.
Cotuit Public Library
On august 5, ].885 a. few interested citizens of Cotuit
met to make plans to open a public library in Cotuit. The
prime founder and organizer was Mrs. Lucy Gibbons Morse.
This Committee solicited contributions of money and books.
A very small building was bought and moved to the
land back of Freedom Hall. A librarian was appointed, and
the Cotuit Public Library was opened in February, 1886 for
the residents of Cotuit, Santuit and Marstons Mills. This
small building was used until June, 1894 when school house
No. 11 and lot were purchased and the library was located
in the center of the village.
The Cotuit Library Association was incorporated Sep-
tember 7, 1894. In 1901 a large addition was built.
The Cotuit Library is open three days a week: 2 to 5:30 -
'\ p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. May to October, and 2 to 5 p.m. and 6 to
8 p.m. October to May. The attendance was 6,258 and the
circulation of books 7,789 last year.
The Cotuit Library's allotment of $950 from the town
fund this year was expended as follows: heating system,
$456.05; books, $186.62; magazines, $27.75; fuel, $129.63;
electric service and pole, $123; supplies, $26.95.,
Present officers are: Miss Grace Dottridge, president;
Mrs. Helen W. Robinson, treasurer; J. Wendell Hamlin, as-
sistant treasurer; Captain C. E. Eason, clerk; Mrs. Clayton
Crawford, secretary. Board of Directors: Miss Ellen W.
Coolidge, Miss Grace Dottridge., Miss Olivia M. Phinney, J.
Wendell Hamlin, Miss Mabel L. Riley, Earl W. Landers,
Bertram F. Ryder, Mrs. Edward J. Meacham, Mrs. Helen W.
Robinson, Mrs. Walter C, Scudder, RollanrA,. Green, Pember-
241`
ton Whitcomb, J. Louis Campbell, the Rev. George W.
Hylton, Miss Marjorie Morse, Mrs. Anna Murray, Captain
C. E. Eason, Mrs. Donald E.,Higgins.
The Cotuit Library serves 150 families which comprise
the villages of Cotuit and Santuit. Miss Olivia M. Phinney is
librarian.
Hyannis Free Public Library
On November 1, 1865 a group of fourteen ladies of
Hyannis met for the purpose of forming a library associa-
tion,which was then formally named "The Hyannis Literary
Association." Through their efforts the library was opened
to the public in the sense that anyone paying the per year
price might use it. Membership was $1.00 per year for
women, $5.00 per year for men.
Shortly after its formation a benefit entertainment was
held and $300 was made available for the purchase of books.
From this small beginning our library has grown with our
village. In 1902 it was incorporated as ``The Hyannis Public
Library Association." The finest step was then taken and it
was made a Free Public Library, open to the inhabitants of
Hyannis,and Hyannisport. The policy of recent years has
been to extend the privileges of the Library to anyone work-
ing in Hyannis or living within the Hyannis mailing district..
In 1908 the Library moved to its present site, and in
1939 the Eagleston Building was added. Hyannis now has
what is probably an unique library layout: two completely
separate structures, one an ancient gray shingled Cape Cod
cottage, the other a modern brick building, the two con- ,
.netted by a narrow passage.
The Association still conducts a membership drive each
,year and three types of membership are available; sustain-
ing membership subscription, $25; contributing membership,
.$5; and annual membership,$1.Anyone who becomes a. mem-
ber of the Association by payment of one of these member-
242
ships is eligible to vote at the annual meeting and take part
in forming the policies of the Library. The trustees, who are
chosen at each annual meeting, are the governing body for
the Library.
During the past year we have added 682 books to our
collection. Of this number, 348 were given to us by members
of the community. The other 334 were in most cases pur-
chased with funds appropriated by the town. Of this appro-
priation $1,736.82 was used for running expenses of the
Library.
The number of people who seek the library as a place
for research or for reading the current newspapers a.nd mag-
azines is strong testimony to the worth of our Library in
creating a taste for what is good and profitable, and in en-
larging their outlook on life.
The following members form the Board of Trustees:
President, Dr. Robert L. Baxter; vice-president, Miss Agnes
O'Neil; secretary, Mrs. Kenneth J. Bradbury; treasurer,
William E. Finch; Mrs. Louis V. Arenovski, Mrs. Walter D.
Baker, Miss Eloise H .Crocker, Richard L.'Harris, Mrs. Cor-
inne Hurst, Vinton T. Hodgkins, Raymond Person, Mrs. John
B. Smith, Hollis Wordell.
Library hours are as follows: winter, daily except Sun-
day and Tuesday, 1 to 5 p.m. and Monday, Wednesday and
Saturday evenings, 7 to 9. Summer hours: daily except Sun-
day, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Miss Gladys Bond is
the librarian.
Marstons Mills Library
The Marstons Mills Public Library began its existence
about the year 1890 and was located in the building belong-
ing to Mr. Dennis Mecarta, who was the Postmaster of the
village. This building was situated by the stream which ran
the last of the grist mills started by the original Marston,
from whom the village derived its name.
24 J
1 I -
The library of that day was a small glass-doored closet,
containing about one hundred books, and made available to
the public one afternoon each week in the lobby of the post-
office. In February, 1893 land was purchased from Mr. Rob-
inson Weeks and shortly afterward the present building was
completed.
The librarian for many years was Mrs. Lillie C. Backus;
she was followed by Miss Minerva Baxter, Mrs. Caroline D.
Coleman, Mrs. Mary A. Lovell "and Mrs. Beatrice Lapham,
all of whom served faithfully and well ''through the years.
The library is open each Tuesday throughout the year,
from 5 to 8 p.m. and serves approximately 75 families. It
contains about 2,500 volumes, both adult and juvenile, and
15 of the popular and well read magazines.
Our allotment of$650 from the town fund was expended
as follows: new books, $307.51; magazines, $55.75; repairs
and maintenance, $285.24.
The library was incorporated November 5, 1947, and the
present officers are: Loring G. Jones, Sr., president; Leonard
Fish, vice-president; Mrs. Natalie M. Fish, secretary; Bert-
ram Fuller, treasurer; Mrs. Alice Crocker, Mrs. Leah Savery
and Mrs. Loring G. Jones, Sr., trustees. The librarian is Miss
Esther Pierce.
The Osterville Library
The history of the Osterville Library dates back to about
1873, when Mr. Stuart Chaplin, son of Jeremiah Chaplin,
D.D., of Boston, summer residents here, and some of his
friends, became interested in starting a public library for
this village.
Mrs. T. H. Ames, who lived in the original James N.
Lovell home, kindly offered the use of her dining room,
where a few shelves were put up and books contributed by
Mr. Stuart Chaplin and his friends were placed. The library
244
was opened on Saturday mornings to the public, and young
Mr. Chaplin was the, "first librarian," generously giving his
services.
Later the books were moved to the school house, the old
"Dry Swamp Academy," now known as the Community
Center building, and the Rev. E. B. Hinckley became the
regular librarian.
By this time, the Wianno people,were taking an active
interest in its development, and "the design of the present
Osterville Library originated with Mr. William Lloyd Garri-
son, who headed the paper with a subscription, to which
smaller sums were added by the, citizens and kindly friends
from different parts of the country."
The present library and reading room were ope.necl to
the public on Monday, January 2, 1882 with the Rev. Edward
B. Hinckley as librarian. The following year Mrs. Eliza R.
Lovell was appointed librarian, later followed by her.daugh-
ter, Mrs. Bertha Lovell Hallett, then by Mrs. Maurice
Crocker. Upon Mrs. Crocker's retirement, Miss Katherine
Hinckley, the present librarian, was appointed.
The Trustees of the Osterville Library are: Mr. H. S.
Parker, chairman; Charles J.Daniel,treasurer;Mrs. Malcolm
Crosby, secretary; Mrs. J. Mott Hallowell, Mrs. Francis Bird
and Mrs. F. D. Putnam. Mr. William Lloyd Garrison, Jr.,
still has,a continued kindly interest in the activities of this
library, which his father started.
Present annual circulation of books of the Osterville
library is about 15,000. Of the town allotment this year, ap-
proximately $500 was expended for new books, and $450
toward the new furnace.
Osterville Library winter hours: Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday, 2 to 5 and 6 to 8 p.m. Summer hours: daily, 2 to 5
and 7 to 9; also, July and August, 10 to 12 daily. Miss Kath-
erine Hinckley, librarian.
245
Whelden Memorial Library, West Barnstable
Miss Martha Whelden was one of the most remarkable
teachers the ToNvn of Barnstable has ever had. When big
boys in the 1850's, 60's and 70's were turbulent under men
teachers, Miss Whelden, sent from district to district not
only in Barnstable but in Yarmouth, quickly set schools to
rights and established a high standard of order in the school-
room and through instruction in the 3 R's of her time. In the
late 1880's one of her friends, Mrs. George Linder of Newton,
knowing how anxious she was to encourage good reading
habits in the boys and girls of the village, made a gift of
books to the Grammar school. Two high red bookcases were
built for the schoolroom and the older girls under the super-
vision of the teacher had charge of the loan and return of
books.
In 1897 with the encouragement and help of Mr. A. D.
Makepeace a "New Otis Hall"was built. Mr. Makepeace sate-
to it that a room in the hall was made ready to receive the
little library now overflowing the cases built in the school-
room. In January, 1899 the Linder Library Association was
formed with constitution, by-laws and a board of trustees.
The room in Otis Hall served as the library until 1905 when
it was decided to house the growing collection of books in
its own building. The Town gave the trustees permission to
put the building on the Lombard land. John Bursley, Howard
Parker and Harry Jenkins were made a committee to solicit
stone and labor, and under the supervision of Zebina Jenkins
a building with stonewalls to the window sills was erected
almost entirely with voluntary labor.
At the death of the Whelden sisters the Library received
a bequest of $8,000. In 1923 the trustees voted to enlarge the
building with aid from this bequest and to rename it the
Whelden Memorial Library. Since that time, except for
brief periods, three librarians have served the association,
Mrs. George Fish, Miss Carrie Bursley and Mrs. Harold C.
Weekes. The income from the Whelden bequest has been
246
very small, with the lowering of interest rates, the Library
has had little money for current expenses and is most grate-
ful to the Town for the appropriation for the purchase of
books and for the additional appropriation in March, 1949
which made possible the very necessary painting of the
interior. It is also grateful for two recent bequests, that of
$3,500 from Miss Isabel Moir and of $1,000 from Miss Alice
Shattuck. '
Officers of Whelden Memorial Library are: Forest
Brown, president; Richard Haydon, clerk; Miss A. L. Jen-
kins,treasurer; and trustees,F. S. Jenkins, Martin Wirtanen,
Louis Woodland, Carl Salo and Harold C. Weekes. Mrs.
Harold G Weekes is librarian.
The Public School Libraries
The schools have libraries. They are tax supported and
housed in the school buildings.
The School Board in its annual budget provides for the
purchase of books for the schools and last year the amount
so appropriated was $4,500. Of this sum, $800 was used for
books for the high school library and the. class room libra-
ries of the various elementary schools of our town.
The high school has a paid librarian and some 2,200
books that may be classified as: reference, 1675; text, 25;
and fiction, 500.
The elementary schools, nine in number with 37 class
rooms, have libraries whose books total 2,952 in number.
These books are mostly fiction and correlate with the sub-
ject matter in the school curriculum. They are designed to
encourage wider reading on the part of the pupil and in
the social studies to throw light and color upon the. life and
leaders of those times.
The several public libraries could do (and some do)
much to help the schools develop an interest in books by
247
having a shelf or two especially designed to interest the
children, and this without duplication of material. While
thus co-operating with the schools, who knows but that the
libraries would be building a clientele of their own.

DEPARTMENT OF. VETERANS'
SERVICES
District Board: Selectmen Chester A. Crocker, Barn-
stable; Richard B. Taylor, Yarmouth, and Clarence M. Nick-
erson, Dennis. Director, A. Earle Mitchell.
In as few words as possible this department would like
to report that it is still carrying on as originally set-up in
1947 by the combined Boards of Selectmen for the three
towns of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis.
In the field of rehabilitation, services and information
needed for education, on the job training, bonuses, loans,
etc., actual contacts in so far as numbers is concerned have
fallen off but the type of contact has increased the amount
of Vvork needed to complete the individual request at hand,
with also insurance, compensation and pension requests
showing a marked increase.
The Federal Contact Office across the street was re-
cently closed but through the approval and co-operation of
the District Board, this office now provides-facilities for a
representative from the New' Bedford Veterans Adminis-
tration Office on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week from
10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Up to the time of writing this brief
report, this itinerant service seems to be proving very satis-
factory to all,concerned.
For the services required for the relief and assistance to
veterans and their dependents, the expenses for same has
very fortunately so far, not increased in any greater propor-
tion than that for other categories of social welfare.
249
a
This office is for the help of any veteran of any war liv-
ing in our district and for his dependents and is open daily
except Saturday, Sunday-and holidays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Whatever the problem of the veteran, if we do not know the
answer at the moment, we at least do know where to find it
and will continue to do so as promptly as-possible.

Report of
THE TOWN COUNSEL
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit herewith the report of the Town Counsel for
the year 1949.
All actions against the town pending at the end of 1948
remain inactive and it is my opinion that there is little likeli-
hood of these suits being revived. We have had the usual
claims for sidewalk injuries originating mostly during the
summer months and on the part of temporary visitors. In
only one case has suit been brought against the town. This
action is •pending in the Norfolk County Superior Court.
The Selectmen for many years have followed a policy of
offering no settlements in these cases. It,would appear that,
by this course of action, together with prompt investigation
and reports by the Police Department and the town engineer,
that many of these claims have been discouraged.
This year the town has'been plaintiff in several actions
against estates of deceased persons. In one case abated
taxes covering a period of six years were recovered. The
other cases involve. actions .seeking reimbursement of funds
from estates of deceased persons who during their lifetime
have received welfare or old age assistance. There seems little
likelihood that in the future there will'be a turn back to an
attitude of family responsibility for the welfare of its older
members. It is therefore likely that there will be an increase
in suits of this kind. Recovery of.assistance granted should
be expected by those who seek to inherit,free from claim, the
properties of welfare or old age assistance recipients. The
251
necessity for court.action indicates that there are an increas-
ing number who feel free• of this responsibility.
There will be an article in the warrant for the accept-
ance by the town of a fifth gift of land at Dunbar's Point.
Upon completion of this gift Dr. Herbert T. Kalmus will have
given to the town the entire area which might well have
been the subject of exceedingly expensive eminent domain
proceedings. Again it is pleasing to note that the town has
further developed the area and is making long range plans
for its use.
In previous years I have pointed out the necessity for
adoption by the town of suitable zoning by-laws. Last year
while the town failed to adopt a comprehensive plan, the
Hyannisport area did secure the benefits of a zoning by-law
affecting that area. This year the people in other villages in
the town have themselves proposed zoning ordinances which
will affect their respective areas. These proposals should by
all means receive the full support of all voters.
No effort is made to set.forth in detail the handling of
the usual legal affairs of the town.
\ Respectfully submitted,
KENNETH E. WILSON,
Town Counsel.

Report of
PARK COMMISSIONERS
At the annual Town Dleeting the sum of $10,700.00 was
appropriated for the Park Commission.
On the following pages by villages and parks is set forth
the present status of and recommendations by the Commis-
sion for the various parks.
HYANNIS
Ridgewood Park
This area has been cleared and maintained. A set of
swings have been made and will be installed in concrete, and
some park benches are being built to be installed in the
spring.
Ocean Street Park
The new parking area was built on the south end in
time to serve the public throughout the summer. This has
been a help in relieving the traffic congestion and the park-
ing problem here.
Twelve hundred feet of concrete curbing was installed
by the Commission at a cost of .80 per lineal foot as against
the usual contract price of $1.50 to $2.00 per lineal foot.
A Lifeguard was on duty during the summer months.
Lights are badly needed here and we are asking for sufficient
funds to install them.
Lewis Bay Park
The clearing of brush and heavy undergrowth has been
completed here.
25J
Picnic tables are being built and will be installed here
in the pine grove by our own force.
Park Square
This was officially turned over to the Commission at the
last annual Town Meeting.
We rebuilt the grass plot with topsoil and reseeded it.
We also have made a new flower bed at each end which we
hope will add a little color to the park.
HYANNISPORT
Hyannisport Park
This.still remains a poison ivy patch with a beautiful
beach leased to the Hyannisport Civic Association. We still
hope the residents of Hyannisport will co-operate with the
Commission in making this a better looking area.
CENTERVILLE
Memorial Park
Dead trees h va been removed and the plot generally
maintained. We hope to replace these trees with the new
ones this spring.
Soldiers' Memorial
This has been mowed and trimmed and we plan to put a
new walk across one end to connect the park benches with
the streets.
Chester Park
This has been partly topsoiled and reseeded and a new
flower bed built on the Osterville end which should improve
the plot this summer.
OSTERVILLE
Memorial Poxk
This is the new park where the stone with Memorial
Plaque to World War II veterans stands. The Commission in
254
answer to several requests will plant some appropriate
shrubs there this spring.
We have continued to care for several grass plots in
Osterville.
1VIARSTONS MILLS
Although there are no parks here we are continuing
the care of the grass plot where the new stone with the Me-
inoria.l Plaque to World War II veterans stands.
COTUIT
Memorial Park
This has been completed and we take pride in the result.
However, credit should go to the members of the local com-
mittee -%vho have taken an active part in the project. We be-
lieve this to be the prettiest park not only in Barnstable but
all of Cape Cod.
Lowell Ball Park
We have built two grandstands (with a seating capacity
for 200 people), a new backstop, loamed and seeded part of
the outfield and cleared the heavy undergrowth near the
entrance.
We hope to install a drinking fountain and loam and
seed an additional part of the outfield this year.
WEST BARNSTABLE
Crocker Park
This has been generally maintained by mowing the grass
and bushes. '
We plan to install here, some of the picnic tables we are
building.
With the construction of the Mid-Cape highway which
passes close by and an access road also close by, Crocker
Park should become increasingly important in our park
system.
255
Sandy Neck \ 0
We still have the strip of land believed to be 40 feet
wide running to the beach.
\ After a conference with the finance committee chairman
and the Highway Surveyor, the Commission has decided to
recommend to the voters what they believe to be a very im-
portant step in the town's affairs.
In the interests of economy and to end duplication of
certain activities, the commission recommends the transfer
of the maintenance of the parks of the town to the Highway
Surveyor, who has generously agreed to take over this work.
We believe that the possible benefits that will be obtained
certainly warrant giving this a trial. Therefore certain arti-
,cles have been inserted in the warrant to accomplish this.

Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
The School Committee takes pleasure in submitting its
annual report and the Report of the Superintendent of
Schools for the year ending December 31, 1949.
For many years your School Committee has been bring-
ing to your attention the, need of additional educational
facilities in the villages of Osterville and Hyannis. Through
your generosity the .Addition to the Osterville School was
completed in time for the opening of school in September.
Open House was held on the afternoon of October 15th to
afford the citizens of the town an opportunity to inspect
an elementary school building of which we may all feel
proud.
Construction of the new Hyannis Elementary School,
located on Bearse's Way, is progressing very satisfactorily.
At the annual town meeting in March 1949, $725,000. was
appropriated for the construction and equipping of this
building. When completed, the school will consist of twenty
classrooms, storage rooms, kitchen, lunchroom, health room,
administrative offices and recreation room. The school will
be ready for occupancy in the fall of. 1950.
A detailed financial report of the operations of the
Barnstable Public Schools is included in the Superin-
tendenVs Report. The school system was operated at a net
cost to the Town of $331,964.94.
r
Our budget for 1950 is slightly higher than it was a
year ago. This increase is due primarily to the fact that
261
additional teachers will be needed in the fall of 1950 to
take care of the increase in enrollment.
During the year the Committee held twenty-three meet-
ings. Inspections of the various school buildings have been
made from time to time by the members of the Committee.
May we at this time thank you, the citizens, for your
interest and support in your schools. To the members of
the school department personnel, we extend our sincere
appreciation for their continued cooperation and devotion
to their work. Grateful acknowledgement is also madetto
all individuals and organizations outside the school system
! who have contributed in any way to the successful com-
pletion of another year's work.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Superintendent of Schools,
To the School Committee of Barnstable, Massachusetts
Miss Hinkle and Gentlemen:
It is a pleasure to submit my eleventh annual report
as Superintendent of the Barnstable_ Public Schools for
the year ending December 31, 1949.
One of the first purposes of a school report is that of
providing an understanding of the local school situation.
Since our school program is responsible for the total educa-
tional development of the town's children, the school report
might include an evaluation of the whole educational pro-
gram. An examination of the reports of previous years will
reveal various accounts of a great many of the phases of
our educational endeavors. Progress has continued and the
educational program has expanded to include additional
activities necessary to meet the needs of our boys and girls.
This report, however, eomphasizes, primarily, two phases of
our school system ' the school plant and the program in
music education. r
School Plant
The citizens of the Town of Barnstable have been gen-
erous in providing us with fine school buildings. It is our
job to care for each of these buildings through-its useful
life. The importance of school maintenance.may be realized
when one considers the direct bearing it has upon the work
of the children. Only second to having well trained, experi-
enced and skillful teachers in the classrooms, the buildings
themselves and the.facilities provided, determine to a large
extent how successful the children will be in their program
through school.
263 .
. f
School plants. do not continue to give effective and
economical service unless properly maintained, operated
and protected. Each year, you, the members of the School
Committee, make a personal inspection of all the buildings
to check the maintenance of the schools. At the present time
our buildings are in excellent condition. It is a distinct com-
pliment to the maintenance program when the citizens of
our community,repeatedly bring visitors-to see their school
premises and indicate their pride in their buildings.
The following pictures are included to familiarize the
citizens with the schools of the Town of Barnstable and to
indicate the fine condition of the buildings at this time.

This is a view of the new`.Hyannis Elementary School in the pro-
cess of construction on Bearse's Way. At the annual town meeting
in March, 1949, $725,000. was appropriated for the construction of
the school. When completed, the building will be a new, modern
.elementary school for the children of Hyannis and will include
twenty modern classrooms, storage rooms, a kitchen, a lunchroom,
a health room, administrative offices, and a recreation room. The
school will be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1950.
Program in Music Education
A complete program of education makes provision for
the personality developing subjects at all grade levels. Just
as the three R's, history and other basic subjects are recog-
nize,d,:so is music receiving' recognition as a fundamental
tool,of education for the contributions it is making.
The following report concerning the program in music
in our schools was written by Miss Dorothy L. Barton and
Mr.. Simon Gesin, Supervisors 'of Music in the Barnstable
Public Schools. Their report has been supplemented by
illustrations that reveal the program more specifically. For
some time we have realized the increasing community
interest in music. We. have reason to be proud of the

WE READ NOTES FROM OUR BOOKS
In this report we shall try to ,luive a brief outline of
the music activities, both vocal and instrumental, as they
take place in the Barnstable Public Schools.
Without probing too deeply into the philosophy of
Music Education in the public schools, it might be well to
state in brief, the general aim, or goal toward which we
are constantly striving. In the public schools of the Town
of Barnstable, music is considered a vital"part of the child's
learning experience. It is our purpose to provide such musi-
cal experience to every child in the schools, so that after
273
graduation, he will be able to participate in the many com-
munity activities afforded him. In this way it is hoped that
he will become a more useful citizen and a welcome addi-
tion to his community.

"SEA-CHANTEY
Since music is an important factor in the life of every
individual, we feel that we must seek every opportunity to
advance this part of the child's education. Love of music
is inherent in every child. In the schools, we are striving to
make music so delightful and satisfying an experience that
a very large number of the children will learn to love it so

deeply, and play and sing it so well, that when their school
days are over they will still want,to continue to play and
sing.and listen. Music, as we see it, takes its place along
side the other _fields in which the child gains experience
in school, and together with these other subjects,- gives him
a well-rounded preparation for community life. In view of
the above stated aim, it is our hope to achieve as near one
hundred percent participation in music, by the students,
as is possible.

WE ENJOY SINGING IN HARMONY
In the elementary schools this is accomplished, but due
to the increased activities in the Junior and Senior High
grades, there is a marked decrease in music participation.
In the elementary schools we aim to have the children
acquire enough experience with music so as to increase his
desire for it. The program which we offer gives one period
a day to music activities. These activities are conducted by
the Classroom teacher under the direction of the supervisor,
and are divided into many categories such as singing, listen-
ing-, creating and rhythmic response. In.the first three grades
the music is largely vocal.
Instrumental activities begin in the fourth grade and
continue through the twelfth. There has been much dis-
cussion as to where instrumental activity should begin,.
some educators advocating the fourth; grade, others the
fifth, and still others as early as the third grade. There is
still some question as to whether the child starting in the
fourth grade and the child starting in the fifth or sixth
grade will make the same amount of progress by the time
each reaches Junior High School. We begin instruction,in
the orchestral and. band instruments in the fourth grade.
It must be recognized, however, that singing is still the

It is hoped that through the acquisition of more school
owned instruments, the,instrumental phase of music educa-
tion will receive the necessary impetus and democratization
so that it too will take its place in the hundred percent
class.
Vocal Music in the Elementary Schools
As we visit a first grade room we find the children
eager to >sing a new song they have learned. These songs
are taught by rote, which, means they learn through listen-
ing. As some have not discovered their'singing voice, they
are given vocal exercises to bring their pitch up to the level
277
of .those singing .accurately. The children enjoy singing,
solos, duets, trios and quartets. This encourages them to
stand before a group with pleasure and confidence. Many
songs suggest motion which the first graders enjoy acting
out. This oftentimes correlates with the beginning of count-
ing. This leads. naturally to larger rhythmic patterns such
as marching, skipping,, hopping and running. In this grade,
children are free of self-consciousness, and therefore enjoy
immeasurably doing what the music tells them to-do.

A RHYTHM BAND
When we visit a second grade room, we find many of
the activities of the first grade being carried out with in-
creased confidence and enjoyment. Many songs are still
taught by rote, but at this time the children find some of
them in their music books. They learn another verse to
these songs which presents the syllable names of the scale.
This leads into the teaching of,t$e scale and staff notation.
Next, these same names are sung in simple tonal patterns
u
from dictation and from the staff on the board. Following

this readiness period, the children are pleased to discover
that they sing from their books more independently.
Upon entering a third grade, we see most of the singing
taught with the books in the hands of the children. They
are now gaining skill in reading notes and enjoy singing
them as a first verse to a song. In our school system this
grade studies Cape Cod in their Social Studies. To correlate
with this, many sea chanteys featuring' a chanteyman as
soloist are taught by rote. Further correlation brings,safety,
health, English, reading and seasonal activities into their
songs, i
Throughout all this experience, listening plays an im-
portant part toward the enrichment of the child's musical

background. Music creates various moods, feelings, images,
and rhythmic reactions so that guidance is necessary for ,
the child's greater understanding and appreciatign. Many
musical stories familiarize the children with the more popu-
lar instruments of the band and orchestra.
Good tone, clear diction, correct phrasing and suitable
expression are emphasized throughout the music program.
The aim of each grade is to further the child's growth and
skill in reading notes, unison and part singing, the latter
being introduced in Grade IV. Now we hear sounds and
harmonious descants producing two part singing. At this
time, added stress is placed upon the more technical aspects
of singing, since the child now begins to take pleasure in
composing his own tunes for poems lie likes or he himself
has.written. ,
Music is also played on phonographs to the older
student at which time he draws free-hand what action is
suggested in the music.
An intermediate group, after learning a•song about the
hell-known Willow Pattern Plate,, composed an operetta
based on its story. This also involved work in are, costum-
ing, English, and much research on the part of each child.
We share our music with the community through these
musical programs, singing at the hospital, service clubs, and
civic organizations.
Instrumental Music in the Elementaxy Schools
As heretofore stated, instruction in the regular band
and orchestral instruments in our schools begins in the
fourth grade. This instruction, with few exceptions, is
given in school time with no expense to the student.
One of the first experiences that a child has with in-
struments of any type is that which he receives as a,member
of a Rhythm Band. Here, he is .allowed to give expression
to his natural impulses ,when listening to music.. He plays
upon the basic rhythm instruments .such as drum, cymbal,
tambourine, blocks and others, deriving much enjoyment

playing of a regular band instrument. Secondly, the playing
of the song flute definitely improves the music reading
ability of the child, enabling him to enter more intelligently
into other music activities, later on in school, even if he
doesn't decide to play a regular instrument. This experi-
ment was tried in one third grade room under the direction
of the classroom teacher and the music director, and has
proven so successful that it is hoped that we might install
the pre-band instrument program in the third grade in the
entire school system of the Town of Barnstable.
At the beginning of each year, with the cooperation of
a musical instrument company of Boston, a demonstration
is put on in all the elementary schools for the pupils of
grades four, five and six. At these demonstrations, nearly
every orchestral and band instrument is displayed. I'n many
instances the pupils are invited to hold and possibly play a

few notes on one of the instruments. Needless to say, this
stimulates much interest on the part of-the child, in instru-,
mental instruction. It is explained to them that instruction
is available to them, and they are told how to go about ac-
quiring an instrument. This increased interest on the part
of the pupils has resulted in.a better than eighty-five per-
cent increase in the enrollment for instrumental instruction
in one year.
After a certain amount of instruction has been given,
small ensembles are created.to enable the pupil to feel that
he is accomplishing something worthwhile. This experience
gained in playing with others is very valuable, not only
as a prevue of what is to be expected in the upper grades, ,
but in developing in the child-a spirit of community"living
that will doubtless last through school and carry on into
his living after graduation. Here he learns not only that
he is important enough to play a small solo part, but also
that he must subordinate himself for the good of the entire
ensemble, when he isn't playing a solo.
It is to be noted then, that instrumental instruction is
provided for those students who can acquire an instrument,
or already have one. This instrumental instruction is free
and in school time. For those parents who wish their chil-
dren to make more rapid progress than that afforded by
the regular school program, there is private or small-class
instruction available on Saturdays in the high school build-
ing. Here a small fee is paid, according to the lessons re-
ceived. This fee goes directly to the instructors who are
working with the sanction and permission of the School
Committee. The Director of Music for the public schools
acts in a supervisory capacity only. This arrangement re-
lieves, in a small measure, the congestion in the regular

school program and enables the instrumental instructor in
the schools to devote more time to those who cannot afford
private lessons. The faster progress made by these students
taking private lessons is gratifying, and the results are
already beginning to show in the instrumental groups such
as orchestra and band in the high school.
Music Activities in the Barnstable High School
Music instruction in the high school presents a different
type of procedure. Instead of meeting once every day, as
in the elementary schools, the seventh and eighth grade
classes meet once a week. Other music groups, such as
Music Appreciation, Music Theory, etc., may be considered
music activities rather than music lessons, although music
instruction takes place in all of them.
This year, in the seventh grade, an attempt was made
to give additional instrumental training and experience to
those who had been taking lessons in the sixth grade in the
various village schools, by-the formation of a Junior Band.
At the present time there are thirteen members, and there
are indications that this -will increase in the near future.
It is hoped that eventually this will build up to the size of
the Senior Band and perhaps take part in a few of the
town functions where such a group can participate.
This year it was decided to admit the most talented
instrumentalists in the Junior High School into the Senior

Band, so that at the present time it includes members from
the seventh grade through the twelfth grades..The Senior
Band is perhaps the best known of the musical organiza-
tions of the school, playing at all the football games, Armis-
tice and Memorial Day parades and other civic functions.
An interesting experience for many of our young
musicians is the opportunity to participate in the rehearsals
and performances of the Barnstable High School Orchestra.
They practice together once a week after school for two
periods, concentrating particularly upon Christmas, oper-
etta and graduation music. As with other musical experi-
ences, the orchestra 'makes provision for valuable self-
discipline for those who participate, a .type of training
which does much to coordinate mind and body and which
proves its work later in life. For pupils really devoted to
music, the experience is most attractive and sometimes helps
them to make a definite decision with respect to their future
career in music.
Singing still continues to be enjoyed by the pupils of
the seventh and eighth grades. Here, music of a more ad-
vanced nature is sung. As many boys' voices start changing
at this age, they often become self-conscious. Songs are
selected that have the melody for the range of voice with
the other two parts written as an obligato, and sung by
the girls. More patriotic songs and songs for community
singing are learned at this time. These songs are songs which

he will no doubt use to great advantage during his school
days and for many years thereafter. Further technicalities
in theory are introduced, giving the student a well-rounded
musical background.
Music appreciation is presented as often as it can be
arranged. Well known themes of famous composers are
played so that the student will be able to recognize the
style of each master. Selections featuring instruments as
the solo voice become familiar to the Junior High students.
In correlation with the folk songs of our country, interest
in square dancing has been aroused. Groups have been
formed to further rhythmic activity and for entertainment
at school assemblies.
A report such as this would most certainly be amiss'
if mention were not made of certain other music activities.
We have already spoken of the Junior Band, Senior Band
and Orchestra. Other musical organizations include Girls
Glee Club, Boys Glee Club, Music Appreciation which are
open to interested ninth grade students as electives; Music
Theory, open only to high school seniors as an elective;
and the annual operetta., open to all students in grades
nine, -ten," eleven and twelve.
The Boys Glee Club has grown from a few disinterested
boys to a group of thirty enthusiastic singers. The group
sang at the operetta in the spring aid the assemblies of
the Christmas season. It is now at work learning the music
to this year's operetta, "The Pirates of Penzance." The
spirit is high,-the enthusiasm great, and much is being ac-
complished]
The Girls Glee,Club this year consists of members of
grades ten, eleven and twelve. They appear before the pub-
286
lie at various times during the year. Throughout the musi-
cal activities of the entire twelve grades many programs f
are broadcast over the local radio station.
The Music Appreciation Class, ninth grade, is a group
of students who, of their own accord, elected to make a
conscientious effort to learn more of the various works
which go to make up music literature, both Classic and
modern. Records are constantly being added so that in time
an adequate library will be available to us. Concerts are
attended in town and in Boston by some of the pupils in
the class who report to the class concerning these ex- '
periences.
The Music Theory class, open to students,of the twelfth
grade, is designed to give them a working knowledge of
the mechanics of music. The work is divided mainly into
three categories; sight singing, music dictation and har-
mony. While it is not the aim of this class to make great
composers of the pupils, free composition is encouraged.
Such local projects such as writing the class song, making
arrangements for the High School Band, etc., further the
creative experience of the pupils.
The annual operetta is perhaps the best example of the
combination of efforts of the many departments of the
a �
"TRIAL BY JURY"
287
.school toward one common goal. The correlation between
the music department, shop department, English depart-
ment, carpentry department and many others strive to
make this operetta a true "school effort."
Mention should be made of another activity, while not
entirely of a musical nature, one which lends itself to the
music program and in particular to the band. This activity
is the twirling corps. This year, more than seventy girls
.,are learning the rudiments of baton-twirling under the
buidance of one of the high school teachers.
Much credit is due the teachers in our schools for faith-
fully, willingly, and patiently aiding in the carrying out
of this musical education, which is a basis for much en-
joymentin use.of leisure time in the future."
Conclusion
Continuing the procedure of previous years, I have con-
-centrated upon only several of the highlights of the school
.year. Needless to say many important phases of interest
have not been mentioned. No mention has been made of the
faithful, enthusiastic assistance•of the administrative, super-
-visory and teaching forces, and of all other school employees.
.Nothing has been said regarding the genuine interest and
,support of the• citizens of the Town particularly the parents
-of our pupils.
To all these individuals, to the many people of other
departments and agencies who have been helpful and cour-
teous, and to you, the School Committee, I wish to express
my sincere gratitude and appreciation. It is a decided'
privilege to be associated with such individuals and it is
my hope that the same fine associations and attitudes may
be continued. It is such interest, assistance and loyalty that
makes it possible to promote educational progress.
Respectfully submitted,
MELVIN C. KNIGHT,

Report of School Health Department
The School Health Program has steadily improved dur-
ing the year 1949. The correction of physical defects and
the preventive methods of controlling disease has proven
to be effective.
The Board of Health has been very fortunate in ob-
taining a School Dentist for the School Dental Clinic which
operates under the sponsorship of this department. The
Dentist had classroom inspections of all children through
the first six grades and notices of defects were sent home.'
There was a total of thirty clinics held at the Dentist's
office, with the total of one hundred and ninety children
being treated. Our Dental problem is still a serious problem
in this community, as it is in all of the New England area.
There is still a great deal of research and dental education
needed in.order to prevent Dental Caries.
A more satisfactory hearing test was made available
to the students with the purchase of a new Puretone Maico
Audiometer. A total of eighteen hundred and sixty children
had this test, with a total of thirty-one showing various
degrees of loss of hearing.
Dr. Aloore, the County Health Officer, conducted an im-
munization clinic for Diphtheria with the High School
Group. A total of three hundred and fifty-five received the
.Schick test., The reactions of the Schick test were as fol-
lows—fifty-six Positive—six combined—two hundred and
ninety-three Negative. Sixty-two'Booster shots were given.
Fifty-three students were re-Schicked, with a total of fifty-
two Negative and one Positive.
A School Chest Clinic was held at the High School.
.Four hundred and sixty-four students were skin-tested for
289
tuberculosis. Of this total, fifty-six were positive reactors.
These students were then X-rayed. All Cafeteria employees
and teachers who requested this service also were X-rayed.
The Program for Physical Examinations was conducted
in the same manner as in the past two years. The School
Physician examined bus drivers, athletic teams and all
students in the first, third, seventh, and eleventh grades.
All new pupils entering this school system receive a physi-
edl examination, as well as any child whom the teacher
and nurse feels needs attention.
All Pre-school children entering school in September
are given a physical examination in the preceding May.
Our School Department did not escape the Poliomye-
litis Epidemic which was prevalent this year. However, we
were more fortunate than a great many communities. Two
school children had the disease, but,it was the non-paralytic
form and these children will soon be back in school.
The functioning of a good School Health Program
depends on the co-operation of parents, teachers, pupils,
and physician and nurse working together to improve the
health of the individual child. The School Health Depart-
ment feels very fortunate in having this type of intelligent
co-operation in this community. We also wish to express
our appreciation for the co-operation of the County Health
Department, as well as our own local Board of Health, for
their continued co-operation in helping us to obtain our
goal, of not only having our graduates well informed, but
healthy, happy, confident citizens.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
The, duties of Selectmen are so many and varied that
any report of their yearly activities must of necessity be
confined to a few salient matters.
Some of the boards most difficult problems arise from
those occasions when it sits at hearings in a quasi-judicial
capacity under the zoning by-law or in'respect to"the issu-.
ance of certain licenses or permits. During the first nine
months of 1950 we received an unusual number of applica-
tions to do business in the Hyannis area. All of these re-
quired a public hearing under the zoning by-law. It is
obviously not equitable to decide such variances by the
simple expedient of counting those for or against them. Nor
is it always a question of determining what is the greatest
good for the greatest number. Refusal of a permit to do
business on some parcels of land if decided solely on this
latter basis might work grave injustice on the owner of the
land in question, and deny him the only use for which his
property is reasonably adapted. The injury to the public at
large or to those who oppose the issuance of such a permit,
must be clear cut and.substantial if a person is to be denied
the right to do as he pleases with his own land. In no.other
year since the writer has been your Selectman have .so many
hearings presented situations so difficult to untangle and
properly evaluate.
Preliminary reports on the 1950 census would seem to
indicate that our Town of Barnstable has gained more pop-
ulation in the last five years than it did in the previous fif-
teen. The tentative figure of about 10,400 as compared with
8647 in 1945 shows an increase. of more than twenty per
cent. This growth in population reflects the tremendous
rate at which dwellings have been built since the war. In
7
1945, according to the Assessors report we had 3933 dwell-
ings. The 1951 report will probably show more than 5400,
a growth in six years of about thirty-eight per cent. This
'abnormal growth has resulted in the development of new
residential areas and the building up of other long dormant,
sparsely settled regions. Requests for additional school fa-
cilities and the acceptance by the town of new roads are
part of the unavoidable and expected aftermath. Our larger
1951 Barnstable is demanding other additional governmen-
tal services commensurate with its new stature; such as
more police, more and larger beach facilities, more improved
roads, more parking areas, more zoning by-laws, etc. To
what extent these demands can be immediately satisfied
within the bounds of a bearable tax rate is a problem that,
voters in the 1951 Town Meeting will have to ponder care-
fully
Our actual increase in new valuation during the last
five years has just about kept pace with our population, but
has not been able to provide enough new revenue to take,
care of all the increased costs of town government.'Whereas
our average tax rate in the years just before the war was
about $26.00, the town has found it necessary to go to $30.00
during the last two years. This, however, is far below the
average increase in Massachusetts towns. Considering that
the cost of living and the cost of practically everything the
town buys has doubled in the last decade, it would be sur-
prising indeed if tax rates did not show large increases over
the pre-war years. It is doubtful if we can continue to "get
away" with such a-modest increase. The 1951 tax rate will
probably further reflect the inflationary period we are going
through and fall somewhere between $32.00 and $35.00
depending upon the reactions of our town meeting.
Requests for new roads have been accumulating at such
an alarming rate during the past two years that an acceler-
ated program has become-necessary in order to .somewhere
near keep pace with legitimate, demands. Last year we laid
8
out or altered twelve town ways and this year we are doing
fourteen plus one alteration to an existing common landing
place. This imposes an extensive additional burden on the
Selectmen at the time of year when they are already ex-
tremely busy, but it would appear that public convenience
and necessity require this additional effort. It should be
mentioned in passing that the laying out or alteration of a
town way is a long, complicated and exacting task, con-
suming much time on the part of both the Selectmen and the
engineering department. We have had to hold over several
requests for desirable road layouts until another year.
Since both the President of the United States and the
Governor of the Commonwealth have declared that a state
of emergency exists and since the Governor has ordered
each town and city to set up an organization for Civil De-
fense, this report should not _elose without some statement
on the subject.
It seems to us essential that certain minimum require-
ments be met. We.are required to have a director of Civil
Defense for the town and we need also during the period
when the organization is being set up a part time assistant
deputy and a part time clerk and stenographer. It is the
director's duty to, obtain the necessary personnel to man
the various services which the state directs all communities
to set up, and to see that they are prepared to function in
accordance with state directives and instructions. Certain
relatively inexpensive items of equipment should also be
furnished. The total expense for the minimum budget should
not exceed $7000. However, the Selectmen also recommend
that the meeting vote sufficient funds so that the various
fire stations can be equipped to sound reasonably adequate
air raid alert signals in case of necessity. This would require
the purchase of several air horns, emergency lighting sys-
tems and two way radios. All of this equipment, quite apart
from Civil Defense, would have considerable value to the
9
districts and the'town in any emergency involving electric
power failure for some years to come.
It is highly probable.that none of this equipment will
ever be necessary for use in a,war caused disaster, but from
our point of view the town can no more afford to be without
these items than you or I could afford to be without fire in-
surance. The Selectmen feel that they should emphasize
their recommendations in this respect since the voters in
town meeting should at least have the opportunity to -vote
enough money.so that the existing fire stations may be
equipped to give the best possible warning signals in case
of imminent ,enemy action, as remote as that possibility may
be. The safety of the public is,potentially involved.
If the town then votes not to provide these facilities it
must assume such responsibility as there may be.
May I recommend to all who chance to read this report
a careful scrutiny of the remainder of this book. In it there
are many reports of excellent work done for the town by
regular departments and special committees and much addi-
tional information of.interest to every taxpayer.
As I determine this report may I publicly acknowledge
the fine. cooperation I have received from the other mem-
bers of the board and from all the various departments of
the town during the past year:
VICTOR F. ADAMS,
Chairman of the Board of Selectmen..

REPORT OF ASSESSORS
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
I respectfully submit the annual report of the Board of
Assessors.
In 1950 the town appropriated $1,560,056.08 for town
purposes and $192,855.65 for State and County assessments
and overlay totaling to $1,752,911.73 which had to be pro-
vided for the financial year 1950. There were receipts against
this grand total of $511,093.63 which the Assessors esti-
mated would be received from Income and Corporation
Taxes, Motor Vehicle and Trailer Excise Taxes, Licenses,
Old Age Assistance, Reimbursements, Public Welfare, etc.
Also the town voted to take $130,500.00 from available funds
making the net amount to be raised by taxation$1,111,318.10.
The resulting tax rate was $30.00 for 1950.
At the 1950 Town Meeting $5,000 was voted to employ
assistants to the Assessors so that we could re-value the real
estate in the town. This work has been started, beginning
with Precinct 3 South at the Yarmouth boundary. By em-
ploying,these.two men we are trying to provide an accurate
and just assessment. They do not set the assessments but.the
Assessors do with the data accumulated. The actual assess-
ments will be equitable for what a person actually. owns
based on facts and figures.
Today with tax rates high and probably going higher
it is very necessary that assessments be equitable so that
the tax bill will accurately reflect the true,share of the bur-
den to be carried by each property owner.
The Assessors deem it highly essential that this work be
carried on to completion.
GEORGE L. CROSS,
Chairman, Board of Assessors.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
Division of Accounts
State House, Boston 33
April 28, 1950
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Victor F. Adams, Chairman
Barnstable, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books
and accounts of the town of Barnstable for the period from
March 27, 1949 to March 20, 1950, made in accordance
with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is
in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B.
Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
FRANCIS X. LANG,
Director of Accounts
Mr. Francis X. Lang
Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an
audit of the books and accounts of the town of Barnstable
for the period from March 27, 1949, the date of the pre-
66
vious examination, to March 20, 1950, and report thereon
as follows:The records of financial transactions of the several
departments receiving or disbursing money for the town
or committing bills for collection were examined, checked,
and verified by comparison with the reports and records
as kept, by the accounting officer.
The accounting officer's ledgers were analyzed, the
appropriation accounts being checked to the record of votes
passed at the town meetings as recorded by the town clerk,
and the transfers from the reserve fund being compared
with the records of the finance committee. A trial balance
was taken off, and a balance sheet showing the financial
condition of the town on March 20, 1950 was prepared
and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were
examined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed,
and the recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with
the records of the several departments collecting money
for the town and with the other sources from which money
was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were
checked with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to dis-
burse town funds. The cash balance on March 20, 1950 was
proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by
reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnish-
ed by the banks in which town funds are deposited.
The debt and interest payments were checked with
the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities
on file.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by
the town were examined and checked in detail. The town
and district taxes transferred to the tax title account were
compared with the collector's records, the disclaimers and
foreclosures were verified, and the redemptions of tax titles
67
and sales of tax possessions were checked to the treasurer's
cash book. The tax titles and tax possessions on hand were
listed, reconciled with the accounting officer's ledger, and
compared with the records in the Regis-try of Deeds.
The savings bank books and securities representing the
investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody
of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income
being proved and the withdrawals being verified.
The books and records of the town collector were
examined and checked in detail. The town and fire district
taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessments, and
departmental accounts outstanding according to the pre-
vious examination and all subsequent commitment lists
were audited and reconciled with the warrants for their
collection. The payments to the town and district treasurers
were verified, the abatements were checked to the records
in the departments authorized to grant such credits, and
the outstanding accounts ,were listed and proved with the
respective accounts in the accounting officer's ledger.
The outstanding accounts were verified by mailing
notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the
books as owing money to the,town and districts, and from
the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed,
are correct.
The town clerk's records of dog, sporting, and miscel-
laneous licenses issued were examined, the payments to the
State being verified by comparison with the receipts on file,
and the payments to the town treasurer being compared
with the treasurer's cash. book.
The books and accounts of the treasurer of the District
Department of Veterans'- Services were examined and
checked. The amounts received for the expenses of the dis-
trict from the towns of Barnstable, Dennis, and Yarmouth,
which comprise the district, were verified. The payments
rs
,were compared with the Nwarrants authorizing the treasurer
to disburse district funds, and the cash balance on March
20, 1950 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance
with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.
The surety bond of the district treasurer furnished for
the faithful performance of his duties was examined and
found to be in proper form.
The records of the Veterans' Housing Committee ,were
examined and checked. The collections on account of de-
posits and rentals ,were checked to the payments to the
treasurer, while the payments were compared with the
approved warrants on file. The cash balance on July 15,
1949, together with the records of security deposits and
rentals due, were transferred to the Barnstable Housing
Authority.
The books and records of the selectmen, and the sealer of
weights and measures, of the police, health, and school de-
partments, as ,well as of all other departments collecting
inoney for the town, were examined and checked with the
treasurer's records of receipts and with the records of the
accounting officer.
The surety bonds furnished by the financial officers of
the town for the faithful performance of their duties were
examined and found to be in proper form.
The accurate manner in ,which the ,work of the town
treasurer has been performed is worthy of commendation,
and the good financial condition of the town is largely due
to the efficient work of the town collector in securing
prompt settlement of the tax levies committed to him for
collection.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to
this report tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's
and the town collector's cash,summaries of the town and
fire district taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assess-
69
ments, tag titles, tax possessions, and departmental ac-
counts, together with schedules showing the condition and
transactions of the trust and investment funds.
For the cooperation extended by all town officials dur-
ing the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my
assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts

Report of
THE SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
I submit the following report for the year 1950.
Besides the usual amount of maintenance the past year
we have had many new streets and roads to keep passable
because of the building of new homes in all sections of the
Town.
The Otis, Baxter, Hinckley, Hallett and Bearse Roads,
accepted last year, are in a particularly bad condition.
The drainage problem here and in the Brookshire Develop-
ment are something to be considered.
We have asked every year for the last seven years for
a drainage system for West Main Street via Pine Street to
tide water. We are asking for this again in 1951.
We have built several'thousand feet of curbs and side-
walks during the year in each of the villages. Also much
widening, patching and sealing has been done. Approxi-
mately 200,000 gallons of road oils of all types were used
exclusive of new construction under Chapter 90.
The following is a list by villages of some of the new
work done besides the necessary maintenance:
Barnstable:
About 400.feet of curb and asphalt _walk were con-
structed. Millway was resurfaced and sealed. Mary
Dunn Road, Bone IIill Road and Rendezvous Lane
were sealed and some improvements were made in
drainage.
West Barnstable:
Prospect Street was partly resurfaced and resealed.
Center Street, now called Meeting'House Way, was re-
200
sealed with stone from Route 6 to the new Mid-Cape
Highway.
Marstons DEW:
Mill Road, Newtown, was completed to the Santuit-
Sandwich Road.
Cotuit:
One-half mile on Main Street was widened, resurfaced
and resealed, also one mile in Santuit. At the Loop
Beach the road was widened, surfaced, curbs, sidewalks
and fences were built and drainage installed. Crocker
Neck Road was sealed.
Osterville:
Fite House Road and West Bay Landing were widened,
paved and drained. Some curb and sidewalk was con-
structed on Nest Bay Road and Tower Hill Road as
well as a curb and retaining wall on Old Mill Road
opposite the cemetery. Grand Island Bridge and abut-
ments were painted. The intersection of Wianno
Avenue and Sea View Avenue was resurfaced and about
2,000 feet of stone seal was applied to Sea View Avenue.
West Street, Hollingsworth Road and Scudder Avenue
were sealed with sand. Pond Street was widened and
made ready for surfacing.
Centerville:
A section of Long Beach Road was widened and paved
and a turning place at the end of the road was curbed
and paved. Curbs and walks were completed from
Craigville Beach to the village. Dunn's Pond Road and
Tevyaw Road (Straightway) were widened and paved.
Bay Lane and Pitchers Way were sealed also.
Hyannis:
The grade on Bearse's Way was raised and the street
was paved by the new school. Curbings and sidewalks
were built from North Street to beyond the school and
201
drainage was installed. Willow Avenue was widened
and paved from Center Street to Elm Street which pro-
vided a much needed parking space for this section.
Keating and Studley Roads were widened' and paved.
Many new streets were graded and quite a large amount
of dust layer was applied. As some of our streets were
built many years ago they require an increasing amount
of patching and sealing each year.
The painting of traffic lines, street signs and fences
now require the full time of one man;with some extra help
needed during the summer months.
The buildings and equipment are in excellent condi-
tion. This year we added an Elgin Street Sweeper, one new
two and one-half Ton Truck and also a panel truck for
the use of the painters.
It is a pleasure to submit this report and I wish to
thank the Officials and the Residents of the Town of Barn-
stable for their continued cooperation and assistance
throughout the year.

REPORT OF ROAD COMMITTEE
January 19, 1951
Town of Barnstable
Selectmen's Office
Hyannis, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
On Wednesday, January 17, 1951, the Road Committee
met with the Surveyor of Highways, who took the several
members of the committee over all of the roads as men-
tioned in the items on the enclosed list, which is made a part
of this report. After the inspection of the several roads, the
Road Surveyor went over the various items in detail and
presented the committee with his estimated budget for the
care and maintenance of the highways of the Town of Barn-
stable for the year 1951.
This budget was itemized and broken down into its
major groups and showing a total estimated expense of
$125,650. The item "snow and ice removal" is in a separate
item in amount of $10,000.
In comparing the estimate for 195i with the amounts
expended during the year 1950, there• is only a slight in-
crease. This increase appears principally in four items,
"labor,"labor," "fences," "traffic traffic •signs and Signals," and "dust
dust
layer."
Your Road Committee approves the budget as estimated.
With reference to the items on the attached list per-
taining-to roads in different parts of the Town, the recom-
204
mendations of the Road Committee appear after each item.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
January 31, 1951
The Planning Board has held many special meetings
as well as their regular meetings throughout the year,
and have.also attended meetings of various civic and other
organizations throughout the town.
Perhaps the most gratifying year that the Planning
Board has had has been 1950.
ZONING: The residential A type has been presented
to and accepted by the Precinct of Barnstable, the Precinct
of Centerville, parts of the Cotuit Precinct. Osterville felt
the need of a broader zoning plan, and have established
a business area, Residential AA and Residential B areas.
The amendments were for the most part unanimously voted
at the regular Town Meeting and signed by the Attorney
General and became part of the Town's by-laws on August
26, 1950.
A zoning article is now being prepared for the precinct
of Hyannis. There have been enough requests for this
Hyannis zoning to warrant this action by the Planning
Board.
BARNSTAB-LE ROAD: An article will be in the war-
rant this year for the widening of Barnstable Road in
Hyannis. This project has been talked about for many
years, but it looks as though the time is at hand to do it,
if it is ever to be done. The widening will greatly facilitate
the flow of traffic, and also develop a secondary business '
street.
CHESTNUT STREET: An article will be in the war-
rant this year to continue Chestnut Street through to
Bearse's Way tying in Charles Street so that a through
208
way will run from Bearse's Way to Center Street. This
new street will serve as a means to the new Elementary
School. It will also provide a secondary street generally
parallel to Main Street to help relieve some of the traffic
problem.
NORTH STREET: The Planning Board proposes to
extend North Street in a westerly direction so that it will
rejoin West Main Street somewhere in the vicinity of Faw-
cetts' Corner. A study of the problem is now being made.
MASTER PLAN: The Planning Board for many years
has been hopeful of making a master plan of the town.
Such a plan would show all existing ways and parks, but
also would indicate any proposed new ways and other
town developments. Such a master plan would insure the
orderly growth of our town.
AIR, RAIL, BUS TERMINAL: During the past year
the Planning Board with other committees made a study
of a joint bus, rail, air terminal, but found the cost, of
the project quite prohibitive and the plan to be generally
infessible, and interferring with expansion plans already
made by the airport commission and the C. A. A.
The Planning Board will continue in the ensuing year
to give grave consideration to problems concerning the de-
velopment of the town, and would welcome suggestions and
complaints from any individual or group.

REPORT OF BUILDING INSPECTOR
January 16, 1951
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
The year 1950 has been one of the biggest building
years in the history of the Town of Barnstable. ,Compara-
tive building figures have shown a steady increase in
building for the last five years. Despite the fact that the
estimated valuation was down 14 per cent, there were 21
per cent more permits issued in 1950 over 1949. The 1949
valuation was bolstered considerably by the Hospital addi-
tion and the new Hyannis Elementary School.
1946 $902,095
1947 1,211,160
1948 2,550,410
1949 5,415,740 744 permits
1950 4,619,675 902 permits
The new zoning regulations in the Villages of Osterville,
Centerville, Barnstable, and parts of Cotuit are now effec-
tive and are working as satisfactorily as anticipated. How-
ever, they consume a good deal of the Building Inspector's
time.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES
Hyannis, Mass.,
January 25, 1951.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable,
Gentlemen:
I am pleased to submit my annual report for the• year
ending December 31, 1950.
Electrical inspections 2,374
Service permits to the Cape & Vineyard
Electric Company 867
Miles traveled 16,386
This shows an increase of 284 inspections and 3,142
miles traveled over the totals for the year 1949.
One fire of electrical origin with a property loss of
$4,714 was reported to this department.
/With the passing of Mr. Cecil Goodall of Cotuit on Jan-
uary 5, 1951, the Town of Barnstable lost a most valuable
and well-liked citizen and electrical contractor.
During the years Mr. Goodall was in business he has
done much to achieve and maintain a high standard of elec-
trical wiring in the town and his loss will be deeply felt by
his many friends and associates.
It has been a pleasure to know him and to work with
him.
Respectfully submitted,
W. ELLIOTT LEWIS,
Inspector of Wires.

Report of
THE.TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
This department is pleased to report that the young
shade trees planted during the past several years have
shown considerable improvement. These trees were fertilized
twice when necessary during their growing season. This
factor and the additional rainfall we have had proved to be
very beneficial.
One hundred new shade trees were planted this year as
replacements. These trees were planted early in the Spring
in order to take advantage of the good growing conditions
at that time. It was the intention of this department to make
another planting during the Fall. Due to the great demand
for this type of tree for housing developments, it was im-
possible to get delivery of good trees until the planting sea-
son was over. If it continues to be difficult to get hard
maples during the, next planting season, other trees will
have to be substituted in order for this department to con-
tinue its planting program.
I would greatly appreciate the cooperation of the citi-
zens of the town in the care of the new shade trees that
may, be on or adjacent to their property. It is most impor-
tant that these trees be kept from drying out during the
first season they are planted.
The large elms in the various villages remain in the
same condition. These trees, in most instances, are reasonably
healthy, considering their age and locations. During the past
year it was necessary to remove three of these large elms
bordering the highway. The general work necessary to keep
these trees in a good healthy condition was carried out dur-
ing the routine work of the department.
214
In the Summer months, the general pruning for highway
and sidewalk clearance was carried out. It was necessary
for this.department to remove more than two hundred dead
pines bordering the roads in the town.
The tent caterpillar situation is definitely under control
and any outbreaks that may occur in the future should be
easy to eliminate.
The elm beetle infestation this year continued well into
the late Summer and it was necessary to treat some of the
trees several times to bring this disease under control. This
pest continues to do a great deal of damage and must be
checked closely from year to year.
I am pleased to report, after a careful check by this
department in conjunction with the Federal Department,
that the Dutch Elm Disease was not found within our town.
This is the last year that the Federal Department is going
to scout for the Dutch Elm Disease as this work has been
transferred'to the Moth Department under the supervision
of the State Department of Conservation.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Tree Warden.
215
Report of
THE MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:—
The Gypsy Moth infestation throughout the town con-
tinues well under control. The number of Gypsy Moths
found this season was very small. I think this is directly due
to the aerial spraying during the previous year. I feel sure
that this condition will continue for several years to come.
This year the entire Plymouth County was sprayed by
plane and this program will be good insurance that we
shall not be infested again by the infiltration of Gypsy Moths
from our neighboring. towns.
Keeping the Gypsy Moth under control will continue
to be an extensive job. During the past year several hundred
traps were distributed at quarter mile intervals throughout
the town. These traps were numbered and their locations
spotted on maps. When the Gypsy Moth is found in any
particular area, the location is marked on the map. This
area is carefully checked during the next season so that any
new infestation can be eliminated with ground equipment,
or in the case of a large area, by aerial spraying. It is also
necessary to carry on this work during the dormant season
so that any egg clusters may be spotted and destroyed.
These locations are• also checked on the map in order that
they may be re-checked during the hatching season.
During the past ,year the wood tick control problem has
been turned over to the Moth Department. This past Sum-
mer experimental plots, bordering the highways within the
town, were sprayed. The results proved very satisfactory
and it is the plan of this department to spray the infested
areas bordering the highways in all the villages of the town
during the coming season.
216
The poison ivy control has also been placed under the
jurisdiction of the Moth Department. Many experiments
have been carried out during the past year for the control
of this dangerous plant. Many chemicals have been used in
these experiments, but we are not ready as yet to recommend
any of them as an over-all control. The use of these chemicals
is limited by the plant life in the area in which the poison
ivy is to be eliminated.
The Brown Tail Moth situation in the Sandy Neck area
continues under control. Any outbreaks in this area will be
taken care of by aerial-spraying.
The equipment belonging to this department is adequate
to take care of the new projects outlined in this report.
I feel sure that we can do a satisfactory job in this new
program.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Moth Superintendent..

REPORT OF FOREST FIRE WARDEN
Centerville, Mass.,
January 15, 1951.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable,
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my first annual report which is for
the year ending December 31, 1950.
The department answered calls for 26 brush .fires, 25
grass, 2 houses, 3 rubbish, 2 dumps, 1 pineneedles, and 1 auto
accident, making a total of 60 fires from the following
causes:
Incinerators 8 Glass Bottle 1
Debris burning 13 Unknown 2
Children 11 Dumps 3
Smokers 12 Automobile 1
Trains 3 Chimney 1
Hot ashes 2 House 2
Fireplace 1
The total area burned was approximately 106 acres;
of this total 85 acres were burned in the largest fire, namely
the one on Clay Hill.
There were 2,007 permits issued during the year, for
open-air fires. The Patrol checked a good number of these
permits on the following days either because of the fast
drying conditions or wind.
The Department has four Forest Fire trucks owned by
the Town and one owned by the County of Barnstable. They
consist of three brush breakers, one patrol truck, and one
crash truck.
218
The equipment as a whole is in pretty fair condition
considering its age. The patrol truck is 13 years old and
needs to be replaced this year. The brush.breaker is 14 years
old and is fast becoming obsolete.
It is planned to have a radio installed on the brush
breaker this year and that will complete all our trucks with
two-way radio.
In closing I wish to thank all the citizens and especially
all the Fire Departments for their fine cooperation this year.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES HALLETT,
Forest Fire Warden.

Report of
THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE
From January 1, 1950, to December 31, 1950
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
I hereby submit to you my fourth annual report as
Shellfish Constable of the Town.
The total value of shellfish taken froin waters in the
town during the period from January 1, 1950 to December
31, 1950, is as follows:
Razor clams $3,185.00
Clams 490.00
Scallops 5,870.00
Oysters 250.00
Quahogs 27,523.00
$37,318.00
Clams
The clam situation in Barnstable Harbor is about the
same as last year. We did have three or four acres of seed
clams in the west end of the harbor, but this set has dis-
appeared. We planted 10 barrels of clams in Barnstable
harbor, and 12 barrels in Lewis Bay, with no better results
than last year, getting less than half of what we planted.
However, the people with family permits had an opportunity
to get some to eat.
Propagation and Protection
The town employed one man full-time, and one man
part-time from April to November, who gathered and de-
stroyed 47,303 cockles, 6,418 horseshoe crabs, and 382 sand
collars. I recommend that this work be continued. We have
221
taken up 146 bushels of starfish in Lewis Bay, Hyannis, as
they are an enemy of the scallop.
Quahogs
The year 1950 was a good year for quahogs, as the price
was good, and the men were able to dig the limit, three
bushel a day, most of the season. The outlook for 1951 is
not as good, with less seed than usual in prospect. We trans-
planted, from a contaminated area in Hyannis, 403 bushels
in Lewis Bay, Hyannis, and 382 bushels in Cotuit. These
areas will be opened some time in the spring.
Razor Clams
There• are about 10 men digging razor clams in Barn-
stable and selling most of them in the shell. The price is five
to five and one-half cents a pound, and there is an abund-
ance of these shellfish.
Scallops
The scallop season opened October 2nd, with about 25
permits issued, and the price around $7.00 a gallon. The out-
look for next fall'is not too good with very little seed show-
ing anywhere in the town at present.
Lobsters .
The State sent down from Boston 641 lobsters which
-%sere put in the water at Hyannis Port and Osterville.
Respectfully submitted,
CHESTER S. JONES,
Shellfish Constable.

Report of
THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Fellow Citizens
It has been said that there is more rejoicing in Heaven
over one repentant sinner than over ninety-nine just men.
Conversely it may be assumed that there is more sar-
donic laughter in the region of eternal darkness over one
deserving eligible welfare applicant unjustly or even un-
intentionally refused assistance, than over 99 undeserving
applicants who get away with something•.
Hence, it is for this or analogous reasons that the Com-
monwealth (urged sometimes by the Federal Government)
has set up various safeguards in the operation, definition
and management of the various public assistance• programs
throughout the Commonwealth.
The law now provides that no officer of a Board of Pub-
lic Welfare shall take part in the actual administration of
any program relative to Old Age Assistance or Aid to
Dependent Children, except incidental administrative duties
or general direction of such program.
The law further provides that only persons subject to
civil service laws and rules shall perform the actual admin-
istration duties of said programs. The reasons for this are
obvious, of course, and provide further safeguards in such
administration.
This does not mean that the Board of Public Welfare
cannot be consulted, appealed to or approached in any way.
But, unless there is very pronounced evidence that would
show otherwise, the Board must invariably sustain or
acquiesce in the decisions of the actual administrative per-
223
sonnel, who are trained, skilled and experienced in their du-
ties and the rules of the Department.
In order to show you some of the detail of the work for
the year 1950, I am attaching to this, the report of the Agent
for our Board..I trust that this will be enlightening and will
provide a basis for understanding some of the essentials of
our public assistance programs.
I am indebted to the personnel of the Welfare Board
for the fine showing made this past year and also to my
fellow members of the Board, Mr. Adams and Mr. Cross for
their fine cooperation in this my first year as a member. The
fact that we have not always been unanimous in our imme-
diate opinions is worthy of note and a healthy sign, because
it not only begets better results but more respect for the
others.
The town may well be proud of its programs for assist-
ing those in need. I know of few other towns or cities -which
do as well for the recipients, without losing sight of the fact
that such programs are supported solely by public funds.

REPORT OF WELFARE AGENT
January 1, 1951.
E. Thomas Murphy, Chairman
Board of Public Welfare
Barnstable, Massachusetts
I submit, herewith, the report of the Department of
Public Welfare for the year ending December 31, 1950.
Although there were slight changes in all categories
during the year, our overall case load at the end of the year
showed a slight decrease. Expenditures for all categories of
assistance disbursed by this Department including the cost
of maintaining the Infirmary were $349,748.87 for 1950.
This -Nvas an increase of $26,087.93 over 1949. Surprising is
the, fact that even with the increased cost of living in 1950,
this increase was $10,920.60 less than the increase of
$37,008.53 in the year 1949 over expenditures in 1948.
The liberalizing of the eligibility requirements in the
Old Age Assistance category and the increase in the man-
datory budget reflect in the increased expenditures this
year.
The personnel of the Department consisted of the
following:

In accordance with Chapter 121, Section 7, of the Gen-
eral Laws: Inspector Miss Mary Deegan, R. N., of the
Department of Public Welfare, made the annual inspection
of our Infirmary on August 8, 1950. On September 15, 1950,
We received a letter from Mrs. Herma C. Rowe, District
Director, commending the Board of Public Welfare and the
Superintendent and Matron.for the fine conditions found at
the Infirmary during the inspection.
During the year it was necessary to make repairs to the
building due to damage caused by termites. It was also nec-
essary to dispose of a horse and a cow, both having served
their usefulness.

In this category the increase in Old Age and Survivors'
Insurance Benefits caused a saving of approximately $235.00
per month in the case load. The passage of legislation where-
by the Federal Government Will participate in the cost of
assistance given to parents or guardians will also help re-
duce the cost at the local level in this category.

Average cost per person, per month taken from State
Statistics for this town shows the cost to be $75.31. Although
this amount may seem high it is the average for most of the
Cape and Island towns and is due mostly to the cost of Hos-
pitalization, Nursing Home care and medical services. Last
year the cost per case was increased by the allowance of
Four ($4.00) Dollars per person for leisure time activity.
Federal legislation increased the Old Age and Survivors'
Insurance Benefits in October 1950. These increases were
deducted from the recipients' grants as a resource. This
meant a local saving of approximately $300.00 per month
in this category case load.
Recoveries
I am pleased to report that during the year recoveries
were made in the following categories:
Old Age Assistance $13,390.98
General Relief 2,665.50
TOTAL $16,056.48
Passage of the referendum at the last election with re-
gard to changes in the Old Age Assistance Law, Chapter
118A, will create substantial increases in our Public Assis-
tance Program if it is put into effect. What the percentage of
increase will be is purely problematical at this time. In-
formation from some sources places it at between 30 and 40
per cent and for that reason is not being considered in bud-
gets by the cities and towns at this time.
228
The Department ended the year with the following
balances:
Old Age Assistance $931.35
Aid to Dependent Children 3,890.45
General Relief 3,475.81
I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the Honor-
able Board of Selectmen, Town Officials and heads 'of de-.
partments, members of the staff of this department, the
Superintendent and Matron of the Infirmary and private
agencies and individuals for their cooperation and assistance
during the year.

' Report of
INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
There continues to be a decline in number of cattle in
the town. The December survey follows: 193 cows, 57 heifers
and calves, 32 horses, 16 goats and 14 sheep.
There were 36 dog bites reported. The dogs were
placed in quarantine and released under the direction of the
State Animal Disease Control Department.
I wish to clarify the procedure followed in the removal
of dead animals from streets and roadsides by the Health
Department. Upon being reported, bodies are removed to
the animal burial location at the town disposal grounds in
Marstons Mills. If there is a means of identification, the
owner is notified.
If your dog or cat is missing, call the Health Department
and give them a description.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT D. CHASE,
Animal Inspector.
230
REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
In 1950 the Board of Health continued to function and
had a very busy year.
The communicable disease situation was not excessive
and followed the State-wide trends.
The District Nursing Association continues doing its
fine work and we are indeed fortunate to be able to help
them out financially.
Mrs. Anna Caskin has had a busy year with a heavy
work load and the moving of the office, but maintained her-
usual courteous and pleasant way.
Mr. Robert Chase and Mr. George Churchill have
worked in close cooperation with each other and with the
other town agencies and are doing an excellent job.
The Dental Clinic has been run in a most satisfactory
fashion and the Board of Health sincerely regrets that bud-
getary requirements must of necessity limit the amount of
work that can be done.
We conducted a portable X-ray clinic this year and
picked up eight cases of tuberculosis, in addition to many
other incidental findings. This work was well received by
the townspeople and we should like to express our apprecia-
tion to all concerned in the project, especially Dr. Julius
Kelley, who so conscientiously read all the X-rays.
We are very grateful for the cooperation of all the va-
rious departments of the Town and County.
The following communicable diseases were"reported to
the Board of Health:
Chicken pox 54
Whooping cough 27
231
German measles 23
Mumps 15
Pulmonary Tuberculosis 10
Measles 9
Poliomyelitis 2
There were 36 dog bites reported.
REPORT OF PLUMBING AGENT
Again this year we have seen another increase in the
number of plumbing permits issued. 825 for the year 1950.
During this year we have had building developments in
Hyannis, Hyannisport, Craigville, Osterville and Cotuit,
also the new Elementary School on Bearse's Way, Cape Cod
Hospital and the two business buildings on Main Street, all
of which called for a large number of extra inspections, due
to the type of construction.
In April, we had our rules and regulations revised and
approved by the State Board of Plumbing Examiners, to
meet present conditions.
I wish at this time to thank all the Town Departments
and also the plumbers for the cooperation I have received
from them this past year.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE E. CHURCHILL,
Plumbing Agent.

MILK AND DAIRY INSPECTION-1950
The town still maintains its excOlent record of tubercu-
lin-tested cows. No reactors were found during the past year.
There has been quite a decrease in dairy cattle.
All sample's of milk and cream examined were found to
be up to the Staid Standard.
Two of oiif 16ea1 dairies—Liiiiiell's Dairy and Mystic
Lake Farm—have this past year installed homogenizing
equipment for those desiring homogenized milk.
The bacteriological examination df utensils used in
eating and drinking establishments showed a big improve-
ment over 1949. Out of 200 samples examined 33 per cent
failed to meet the adopted standard of 100 bacteria per c.c.,
indicating impro'pet sterilization, stdrage or handling.

REPORT OF DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION
To the Barnstable Board of Health:
The District Nursing Association again reports a busy
year filled with activities that include many visits in the
home for bedside nursing and for giving medication by
hypodermic, subject always to physicians' orders. Health
supervision visits also were made to pre-natal patients and
for infant and child welfare.
Our annual Eye clinic for the school children was held
in January and our monthly Well-child conferences have
been well attended. We participated in the Community
Chest X-ray survey held in May in Barnstable Village, Hy-
annis and Osterville and have done much of the follow-up
work resulting from the survey. The overall benefit derived
from this community X-ray program has been recognized by
both the professional people and the laity; such a program
had, and deserves the support of everyone in the town.
235
We extend our appreciation to all health agencies with
whom we come in contact for their fine co-operation.

Report .of the
Barnstable County Health Department
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1950
Control of Communicable Diseases
Over a period of several decades, there has been a grad-
ual downward trend in the severity of many of the common
acute contagious diseases of childhood so that control,of
such diseases is no longer to be considered an important l�art
of the work of any health department. Furthermore, modern
medical science has demonstrated that some of the measures,
such as isolation and quarantine, formerly thought to be ef-
fective means of control, are not by any means adequate.
Efforts of this department have largely been aimed at de-
creasing the susceptibility of children by active immuniza-
tion against diphtheria and whooping cough.
For the second consecutive year, the number of cases of
infantile.paralysis reported has been above normal. Of the
seven cases reported, all except one were permanent Fesi-
dents of the county and six of the seven developed some de-
gree of paralysis. There was one death reported as the result
of this disease.
Sanitation
The Department continued its efforts for the protection
of private water supplies and adequate sewage disposal.
Laboratory, as well as sanitary survey work, was carried on
at about the same level as during previous years. Several of
the Town Boards of Health have adopted new regulations
during the year. Contacts have been made with Town Plan-
ning Boards to promote more adequate attention to water
supplies and sewage disposal when new sub-divisions were
under consideration.
By the employment of a part time sanitarium during the
237
summer months, we were able to cover more adequately, the
increased work entailed by the influx of summer visitors.
Our attention has been particularly directed toward the san-
itation of food handling establishments, many of which are
only in operation for a brief period of time during the sum-
mer. By augmenting the 'laboratory services, concerned with
the examination of swabs taken from multi-use utensils in
restaurants, we were able to exercise better control over the
important item of cleaning and sanitizing glasses, cups and
other such equipment.
We have followed closely the studies carried out recently
on methods for the control of «rood ticks. At the completion
of the work, done this year by the Massachusetts Department
of Public Health, as well as the United States Department of
Agriculture, it would appear that effective means for cur-
tailing the number of ticks are available. We feel that the.
control work should be carried out by the moth superinten-
dents in the various towns of the County since many of them
already have the necessary equipment.
Child Hygiene
During the year we have continued our promotional
work in this field and many clinics have been conducted
under the auspices of this Department for the health evalua-
tion of children of ages from one to six.
In February we were able to secure the services of a den-
tal'hygienist, and institute a program for the control of den-
tal caries among school children by the application of sodium
fluoride. We have also been able to secure the aid of workers
from the United States Public Health Service and the Massa-
chusetts Department of Public Health, and expect to have
completed all .schools in the County at the end of the year
following the beginning of the work.

Report of
BARNSTABLE HOUSING AUTHORITY
354 Main Street
Hyannis, Mass.
January 29, 1951.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
The Barnstable Housing Authority continued its activi-
ties during the year 1950 by bringing to completion the per-
manent project consisting of 40 single family dwelling units
on Bearse's Way, as well as its management of the Airport
Housing Project, so-called.
The original plan of the Barnstable Housing Authority
called for removal of substantially all families from the
Airport Housing Project into the permanent project when
completed. It was first planned to sell and remove the empty
Quonset huts and eventually return the bare land to the
Town. When the time came for processing the tenants at the
Airport Project, it was learned that about half the families
living there were disqualified for one reason or another, so
that a complete shut-down of this project could not be at-
tained. Recently this Authority has been informed by the
State Housing Board that the housing shortage may become
more acute as a result of the existing emergency and advised
this Authority to discontinue any proposed sale of temporary
dwelling facilities. As a result, no immediate sale of these
buildings is contemplated.
During the course of the year, this Authority did dis-
pose of two such surplus buildings and continued its efforts
to maintain this project on a self supporting basis. The out-
standing rents receivable were reduced from $1996.50 at the
end of 1949 to $258 at the end of 1950, and as a result of
careful management we were able to turn over to the Town
241
of Barnstable $2000 from these operations in 1950. Under
the management of this Authority, a total of $5000 has been
turned over to the Town of Barnstable during the years
1949 and 1950.
The permanent veterans housing project on Bearse's
Way was substantially completed at the end of 1950 and 39
out of the 40 houses are presently occupied. The remaining
empty house is temporarily unoccupied awaiting several
small additions,and changes and should be ready for occu-
pancy shortly. Applications for housing in this development
were received and given complete investigation to determine
whether the applicant was a citizen and a veteran, to estab-
lish the nature and extent of the applicant's income and to
determine the size and need of each family. Rents were ad-
justed upon the basis of income and size of family and aver-
age about $38 per month.
This permanent project has been established upon
completely self supporting basis and should prove an asset
to the Town from the standpoint of beauty and utility.
During the course of the year, Norman C. Nagle re-
signed as a member of the authority and was appointed
Executive Director of the project and continues to act as
clerk of the authority. George C. Campbell of Cotuit was
appointed by a joint committee of your Board of Selectmen
and this authority to fill such vacancy. All members of this
authority have given freely and generously of their time
and efforts with no thought or expectation of payment and
have worked harmoniously throughout the year.

Report of
SEWER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
We respectfully submit the following report pertaining
to the Sewer Department.
Mr. Chester Jordan, Superintendent, reports that no
serious trouble had developed at the pumping station in the
past year that caused suspension of service.
Eighteen new connections to the town Sewer System
have been added in the year 1950.
The filter beds are not functioning properly and must
be reconditioned this year. After several tests made by a.
competent engineer and your Board of Commissioners, we
find that it will be necessary to remove 20 inches in depth
from top of beds, due to saturation which interferes with
proper filtration.
An estimated 99,000,000 gallons of sewerage was pumped
through to the beds in 1950.
Root infiltration clogged South Street, Park Street and
High School Road. Park Street was the worst. A demonstra-
tion by a motor driven machine using our rod and boring
equipment in this street was highly successful and we have
recommended the purchase of this machine in our budget.

Report of
THE BARNSTABLE PLAYGROUND
AND RECREATION COMMISSION
At the annual Town Meeting of 1950, the sum of $16,280
was appropriated for a Recreation Program in the Town of
Barnstable. Recreation programs are being conducted under
this Commission in Barnstable, West Barnstable, Centerville,
Cotuit, Hyannis, Marstons Mills and Osterville.
The following programs are being held in these Villages:
BARNSTABLE: The Recreation Commission, in co-
operation with the Community Service Council, is offering
a well-rounded program of activities to children and adults.
The Woman's Club is equipped for basketball, games, mo-
vies, dances and instruction, ping pong and special parties,
as well as roller skating.
CENTERVILLE: A dance and instruction was con-
ducted in the basement of the Centerville School. The Com-
mission cooperated with the Centerville Athletic Association
with equipment in their Annual Field Day for children.
COTUIT: The Cotuit program operates in Freedom Hall
where dances and square dance instructions are conducted
as well as ping pong, basketball-and special parties, all show-
ing a great participation.
HYANNIS: The Center at 290 Main Street, on the sec-
and floor, consists of two rooms which are used for arts and
crafts for children and adults, meetings, and as an office.
A large number of children and adults from every village
in the Town of Barnstable participate in the Craft program
which includes Metal Craft, Ceramics, Oil Painting, Leather-
craft,Decorating,Jewelry Making,Novelty Woodwork, Tray
and Furniture Painting, in fact any craft asked for is avail-
244
able. The American Legion Home is also rented and three
basketball leagues are operated there. A League for Junior
and Senior boys and a League for Girls. Other activities in-
clude Teen-age Dances; Square Dancing, grid instruction to
over 500 children, and a volley ball league composed of ten
teams. A basketball league of six teams composed mostly of
veterans was started at the high school.
MARSTOSTS MILLS: An Athletic Association is very
active in this community and plans the program for the
young people with the assistance of the Commission.
OSTERVILLE: The Osterville Community Center has
a well-rounded program for the children with basketball,
ping pong, checkers, dominoes, square dance instruction.
The building is used by civic groups who conduct meetings
and assist in the program.
WEST BARNSTABLE: The Commission cooperates
with the West Barnstable Improvement Association in eoii-
ducting dances, ping pong, and special parties for the chil-
dren of this village.
OUTDOOR AREA PROGRAMS: The regular summer
program of swiminiiig afid instruction as well as three adult
teams entering into baseball leagues, was financially assisted
by the Recreation Commission. Thdse teams were known as
the Barnstable Townies, Osterville Vets, and the Cotuit
team. Most of these players are veterans and a great deal of
interest was shown by all teams. There were also five Junior
League teams.
JOSHUA'S POND: A iiew shelter house aiid a retaining
stone wall were built Here. A program bf swimming and in-
struction; and special waterfronts events was carried on
throughout the summer. The summer closed with a water
carnival for children, over 200 children and adults attend-
ing the affair. Average weekly attendance was 700.
HATHAWAY'S POND: Two lifeguards we're placed
245
here during the busy times of the day. Over 1000 children
and adults used this beach over the Fourth of July. The pro-
gram consisted of swimming and instruction, horse-shoes,
waterfront events and picnicking. Attendance in picnicking
exceeded that of other years.
TOWN LANDING BEACH: This beach, under our su-
pervision, is very popular with the children. A lifeguard is
stationed here with'a program of swimming and instruction,
horse-shoes, checkers, and picnics. Average attendance was
600.
KALMUS PARK: A safety area was set up near the
parking area with a lifeguard on duty daily. A lifeboat was
also built for the beach. Bathers used the entire area on
both sides. Largest attendance one Sunday was five hundred
cars. Participation varies according to the wind. Plans for
t-%v6 jetties were completed, to stop erosion. The committee
worked on plans for a comfort station, and asked for bids.
- However, when bids-were received they were in excess of the
money allotted for the work to be done. Consequently the
money has been.set aside for future use. There are now build-
ing restrictions and as soon as they are removed and we are
at liberty to go ahead, further action on the construction of
the comfort station will be taken.
COTUIT: A ten week swimming program was also con-
ducted at Ropses' Beach. Swimming and lifesaving instruc-
tion were included. Listed below is an individual activity
report.

Report of
HYANNIS AIRPORT COMMISSION
AND AIRPORT MANAGER
FOR 1950
To the Citizens of Barnstable:
Ownership of a major airport and air terminal such as
as now vested in the Town of Barnstable is a relatively new
situation, and one for which not many years of experience,
little accumulated knowledge, and few precedents, are
available for guidance. It is thus important that all citizens
be given the basic facts which will enable them to under-
stand the problems which have arisen and will continue to
arise in the future.
Your Commission after five years of operation of Barn-
stable Municipal Airport therefore offer for consideration a
few underlying facts which have become clear and which
bear on future development of the airport.
First: Our airport is a public transportation facility
quite comparable to our highways and harbors, and like
them it cannot be expected to pay its own way in full by
direct return from fees and other revenues; in brief, a sub-
stantial share of its return to the town must always come
indirectly from its use in facilitating travel, to and from
Cape Cod.
Two: Our airport has an importance beyond its imme-
diate use for civil air transportation, important though that
use is, in its place as a link in the nation's defenses. During
World War II it served first the Army and then the Navy,
both for operations and training. It represents a, very sub-
stantial investment by the Federal government—an invest-
ment greater than that made by the town itself. In a broad
249
sense the town is not only the owner, but a trustee for state.
and nation in preserving, maintaining and improving the
airport.
Three: As in the past, future development and improve-
ment of the airport will require large appropriations, con-
siderably in excess of what the town can be expected to bear
alone. Both the Federal and State governments recognize
this by offering to bear a substantial proportion of the cost
of major improvements.
With the foregoing facts in mind, the Commission dur-
ing the past several years has been preparing a master plan
for future development. This is not simply a projection of
what might be done when and if funds become available,
but a thorough engineering study in which the Civil Aero-
nautics Authority and the Massachusetts Aeronautics Com-
mission have assisted, reviewed, and given their approval.
The plan is a step preliminary to the granting of any Federal
and State aid in the future.
A decade ago the C.A.A. and subsequently your Com-
mission came to the conclusion that the administrative and
operations area of the airport logically should be located
near the Traffic Circle where Routes 132 and 28 and Barn-
stable road meet. This offers far greater convenience to the
public; it would supply the needed safety area not available
in the present location; and it would permit some increase
in non-flying revenue. The master plan contemplates moving
of all facilities to this locus. However, such a major move
cannot be done in a single jump, both because of the cost
and because the way must be prepared with necessary facili-
ties. The plan thus calls for three major stages in the airport
development.
These, in brief, are: No. 1, providing of paving, utilities,
sewer and drainage, moving of the administration building
and town-owned hangar; No. 2, construction of taxi ways
and ty-down ramp; and No. 3, extension of the instrument
landing runway.
250
Our engineering estimate of the cost of the First Stage
of the proposed development in round figures is about
$220,000;.of this the town would need to appropriate approx-
imately $705000, conditional on a Federal allotment of $100,-
000 and State contribution of $50,000.
Your Commission debated whether or not to place a
request for an appropriation to begin on this plan at the
1951 town meeting, and a majority of its members felt this
advisable. At best, if the town is ready to assume its share
of the cost of this improvement, a minimum of two years will
be needed to secure Federal and State allotments, and at the
earliest the work could not begin before 1953. The contrary
view is simply that 1951 is not the year to ask the town to
embark on an airport improvement program.
Looking backward over the year 1950, your Commission
reports that passenger traffic and general use of the airport
increased about twenty per cent, as figures in the Manager's
report appended shows. Your Commission held seventeen
meetings, several conferences with C.A.A. and State officials,
and frequent inspections of the airport.
Sealcoating of the NW-SE runway completed the last
of the three runways, and this expense will not recur for
two or three years. In August the contract with Northeast
Airlines was revised, and payments by our efficient sched-
uled air carrier changed from a flat basis per flight to a fee
of forty cents per passenger emplaning at the airport. This
has already increased somewhat this revenue, to the town's
advantage. Profits from sales of gasoline also increased
somewhat over the previous year.

AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT FOR 1950
27,507 passengers arrived or departed in aircraft during
the year. Northeast Airlines, the only certified scheduled air
carrier, accounted for 17,707, with the local flight operator,
itinerant private and commercial aircraft making up the
difference of 9,800. Northeast Airlines made 1,505 scheduled
flights into the Hyannis Airport during the year.
I ,
Itinerant, private and commercial aircraft using the
field and facilities totaled 2,227. There were 8,552 passengers
arriving or departing aboard these planes.
Cape Air Service, Inc., the airport flight operator car-
ried 1,248 passengers on charter flights, flew 1,030 hours of
freight and passenger transportation and recorded 91 hours
of student instruction.
In addition to the passengers arriving and departing
by air it is estimated that 75,000 to 100,000 people visited
the airport during the year.
There were many material improvements made to the
airport and facilities during the year including sealcoating
the Northwest-Southeast runway and clearing and rough
grading approximately 30 acres of airport land for better
sight distance between the ends of the runways.
The Civil Aeronautics Authority Regional Administra-
tor designated the Northwest-Southeast runway as the one
best suited for lengthening another 1500 to 2000 feet to the
Northwest. It will be used as the instrument landing runway
when traffic justifies the installation of the radio and light-
ing equipment necessary to complete the project.

Report of
TOWN LIBRARY COMMITTEE
While in past years it has not been customary for the
Town Library Committee to submit an annual report, the
Committee now feels that since the town has increased its
annual appropriation for libraries, some account, however
brief, should be given of the use to which these funds have
been put, and on the state of our libraries.
The Committee, which consists of one member from each
precinct, divided the town appropriation as follows: Barn-
stable, $1000.00; West Barnstable, $600.00; Hyannis,
$2250.00; Centerville, $1000.00; Osterville, $1000.00; Mar-
stons Mills, $650.00; Cotuit $1000.00.
Libraries under the law may use these funds "for the
maintenance and increase of free public libraries." The in-
terpretation placed on this is any library use other than
salaries. In general, the libraries used these funds on new-
books and on keeping their buildings in order, on painting,
heating, repairs and alterations, and the like.
Barnstable's seven libraries have many problems, but
they are now better able to serve their communities than
ever before. Centerville completed a new addition, and oth-
ers have done modest repairs and renovations in 1950. Many
needs still exist. Our largest library, Hyannis, which serves
the largest village, is seriously in need of greater aid, as are
all of our libraries. This we hope they may receive.
Following are figures on the manner of expenditures of
funds by each library.

Report of
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS'
SERVICES
District Board: Selectmen—Victor F. Adams, Barn-
stable; Richard B. Taylor, Yarmouth; Clarence M. Nicker-
son, Dennis, and A. Earle Mitchell, Director.
As the recall to active duty of World War H veterans
and further inductions of men under Selective Service con-
tinues to eventually make more veterans, it does not seem
amiss at this time to restate the purposes of this department
together with some of its activities as provided by our State
Laws.
As the name of the department implies, we primarily
give service to all resident veterans of all wars by supplying
information and executing government forms as needed in-
cluding notarization at no charge in reply to their ques-
tions about education, loans, job training, housing, com-
pensation, pensions, insurance, hospital and domiciliary
care, burials, grave markers and death claims.
. The Director has been most fortunate since the opening
of this office in having received the unpaid assistance of a
group of advisors by their additional service to individual
cases when same required special attention, so it seems only
fair at this time to publicly recognize these gentlemen by
entering their names in this report together with their ex-
perienced fields of service. "Education and `On-the-job
Training' "—Theodore W. Glover, Jr., Hyannis; "Employ-
ment and Re-employment."—James A. Delay, Hyannis;
"Vocational Rehabilitation"—Williain E. King, New Bed-
ford; "Marital Matters and Spiritual Readjustments"—

Yarmouth; "Housing"—Norman C.. Nagle, Cotuit; "G. I.
Loans and Guarantees"—Earl R. Greene, South Yarmouth;
"Social Security Status and Eligibility"—Wilbert P. C.
Divis of New Bedford Field Office; "Veterans Administra-
tion Affairs" in its many complicated classifications by Ezra
Jones Swift-of New Bedford, who is at present available in
this office on the first and third Thursday 'of each month
from 10 to 2:30 p.m. for consultation with any and all Cape
veterans. His hours with us remain the same but number of .
trips have been cut from 2 days a week as originally started
a year ago to present 2 days a month and we sincerely hope
at least these remain to permit him to continue his first hand
and direct service to the individual veterans and dependents
who call here for his sincere and appreciated advice.
In the "Medical Field and Hospitalization," which more
or less overlaps from SERVICES into our secondary purpose
OF BENEFITS upon which I will give more details later,
I have yet to find a single doctor unwilling to co-operate in
rendering statements of physical condition and the filling in
of various V. A. Forms required from time to time, so due
credit to all Cape doctors should be shown here and now
for their extra service to veterans, and I feel sure that all
of them will concur in extending our mutual compliments
to the Senior Medical Officer in the New Bedford V. A.
Office, Dr. John Belsky, who has somehow always managed
to find a hospital bed for an eligible Cape veteran, whether
requested by this office or the local doctor himself on some-
times a very short notice. In addition to service rendered in
the above named categories, requests of many kinds, per-
sonal and otherwise have been handled directly or by refer-
ral to other individuals qualified on the matter concerned.
Our secondary purpose, also a service more or less but
which goes by a different name, is carried for each town in-
dividually and is known as
257
VETERANS' BENEFITS DEPARTMENT
Local Board: Selectmen—Victor F. Adams, George L.
Cross, E. Thomas Murphy and A. Earle Mitchell, Veterans'
Agent.
Acting under State Laws, which are closely supervised
by Commissioner Henry V. O'Day, worthy veterans and
their dependents, including parents in some instances, are
given financial aid and assistance according to their needs
within the budgets suggested by the State Department of
Veterans' Services.
All recommendations of the local agent are office
checked by the Commissioner's agent and assistant, Mr.
Carroll Hardy, known as an Authorizer, and are further
investigated at home of each applicant by Mr. Philip E.
Carey, known as a State Investigator. All the above men-
tioned with the Commissioner especially have been most co-
operative in the handling of the various cases brought to
our attention either by the Selectmen or the veterans them-
selves.
To make application for aid is quite simple but strict,
first requirement being presentation of Honorable Discharge
or photo-copy of same from one of the Armed Services dur-
ing war time, being at present time worthy to the extent of
not being on probation or under order from any Court or
addicted_ to voluntary idleness or intemperate habits. Need
is then shown from facts given upon application forms avail-
able in this office and completed with our help.
While the description of this part of our services might
sound brief, it does take the majority of our time due to
present economic conditions and the re-call of reservists and
induction of new men into the Armed Services under the
"Present Tension," better known now as the "Korean Sit-
uation," whose wives and children can and do apply for
State assistance called War Allowance payable by us after
approval by State Department until receipt of Government
258
Allotment by said applicants. It is hoped by all officially con-
cerned with funds available for Veterans' Benefits that this
phase of our work does not reach the stage as often cited in
the story, "The Tail of the Dog."
Once again we would like to ask all World War II vet-
erans who have not called for their Town Medal in this
office, as provided by the Board of Selectmen by vote of
1946 Town Meeting, to please do so and also don't delay any
longer about having discharge photostated, no charge, at
Barnstable Court House, if not already done so, not only as a
protection for veteran himself but as a possible future serv-
ice to his dependents. In closing may I quote lettering on our
office door which is at present Room 11, Town Office Build-
ing, Hyannis, Telephone 688.

REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit herewith the report of the Town Counsel for
the year 1950.
During the year at the October term of the Superior
Court one land damage case against the town was tried
before a jury for the taking of land bordering Mara.spin
Creek in which the jury awarded a verdict of $1562.00, an
amount more than the award made by the Selectmen but
considerably less than the party demanded for damages.
There has been one action brought against the town for
sidewalk injuries which is now pending in the Norfolk
County Superior Court along with a case brought in 1949.
Other suits of this nature pending for many years remain
inactive.
There has been increasing activity in the bringing of
suits for recovery of welfare aid and old age assistance
against the estates of deceased persons. Approximately
$10,000.00 has been recovered. It is entirely likely that there
will be an increase in this kind of action in the future. Re-
covery has been made in one case for damages to an auto-
mobile owned by the town but other than these actions
there have been no cases in which the town has been a party
to litigation in court.
I have found over a period of years that the various
departments of the town are extremely conscious of the ne-
cessity for acting strictly within their various legally estab-
lished authority. They are quick to seek advice on matters
which if not handled in accordance with the law might in-
volve the town in needless embarrassment and in some cases
litigation. In my opinion this town should take a great deal
of pride in the continued ability of its departments to per-
260
form their duties not wily efficiently but strictly within the
letters of the laws that define their various duties and set
forth the limits of their authority. y
This year other areas of the town have become conscious
of the necessity for the adoption of the type of zoning by-
law first adopted for the Hyannisport area. It would seem
to me that this should receive the full support of all voters.
This year the West Barnstable Civic Association is
sponsoring the adoption of a soil conservation by-la-%v and
also the acquisition of a large tract of land at Sandy Neck
on a basis of a lease and gift. These are two matters which
should have the support of the town.
As in other years no effort is made to set forth in detail
the handling of the usual legal affairs of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
KENNETH E. WILSON,
Town Counsel.

Report of the
PARK COMMISSIONERS
A
At the annual Town Meeting the sum of $8775.00 was
appropriated for the Park Commission.
Looking back through the past year we are pleased to
report to you the position in which we find the Department.
We have instituted new ideas and methods in the De-
partment that we believe improved the efficiency of its
operation.
An inventory made at the end of the year finds us with
all the tools and equipment (with a few minor exceptions)
we will need for the coming year except a new truck to re-
place our present 1939 model.
On the following pages by villages. and parks is set
forth the various improvements made during the past year °
and recommendations for the future.
HYANNIS
Ridgewood Park
New swings and seesaw have been installed and are
used constantly by the children in this area. Another set of
swings or slide• will be installed this year; also park seats.
Ralph P. Bismore Park (Ocean Street)
A life guard was on duty during the summer.months.
Six party boats operated from an area set aside for their use.
The rest of the area was used by visiting yachts.
Seven post lanterns have been installed with a time
switch to operate them.
Six new finger piers are being built and are nearly
completed.
262
It is proposed that the commission charge a fee for
docking facilities on a per foot basis for visiting yachts and
a flat rate for party boats.
Lewis Bay Park .
Since moving the float up to this park the number of
people using this park has increased to the extent that it
became necessary to provide a life guard and a boat for his
use.
We have installed six picnic tables which have proved
to be very popular.
We have also cleared the area almost entirely of, large
patches of poison ivy.
Park Square
We have built several flower beds in this square.
A new curbing has been installed on Main Street and
will be completed on the other side this year. At the request
of the Board of Trade a permanent Christmas Tree was
planted.
Hyannisport Park
This area is under lease to the Hyannisport Civic Asso-
ciation. We. still have hopes that the residents of Hyannis-
port will come forward with a plan for the improvement of
this area.
CENTERVILLE
Memorial Park
We have planted new trees to replace dead ones which
have been removed and will resoil and replant with grass
seed in this area.
Soldiers' Memorial
A new walk has been built connecting the park benches
with the street.
New halyards were installed on the flag pole.
263
Chester Park
A park bench has been placed here and water will be
installed this spring.
OSTERVILLE
Memorial Park
Ivy has been planted by the boulder.
A walk has been made along the street and will be
paved this summer.-
We have continued to maintain the grass plot at the
junction of Main Street and Parker Road, although this is
in the highway layout and does not belong to the Park Com-
mission.
MARSTONS MILLS
Although there are no parks here we are continuing the
care of the grass plot where the new stone with the Memorial
Plaque to World War II veterans stands.
COTUIT
Memorial Park
Additional trees have been planted here. Some were fur-
nished by the Commission and some generously donated by
citizens of the village.
Flower beds have been planted with colorful varieties.
We have ordered a flagpole which will be ready for the
dedication of this park on Memorial Day.
Elizabeth Lowell Park
We have installed water at the baseball diamond.
We have placed about 250 yards of loam in the outfield,
filled in behind first base and removed all the dead and
fallen trees in the wooded area.
We will continue to improve the field this year.
264
WEST BA'RNSTABLE
Crocker Park
All dead and fallen trees have been removed and about
150 stumps taken out and the holes filled.
A number of picnic tables will be installed and the well
will be put back in working order.
The new Mid-Cape Highway passes within 50 feet of
this park. We have therefore made a request to the Com-
missioner of Public Works that a turn-out be built so that
visiting motorists may park off the travelled way and use
the facilities of this park which is the only one on the new
highway.
Sandy Neck
We still have the strip of land believed to be 40 feet
wide running to the beach.

REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS
January 30, 1951.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
The following is the annual report concerning the activi-
ties of the Board of Appeals during the year 1950.
The undersigned members were appointed by the Board
of Selectmen under the provisions of General Laws (Ter.
Ed.), Chapter 40, Section 30 to hear and act upon requests
for variance under the zoning ordinances applicable to the
several villages of the Town and to hear and act upon ap-
peals arising in those villages having no special zoning
ordinances.
Recently, several villages have adopted zoning regula-
tions applicable to that village, but leaving others, such as
Hyannis, still subject to the zoning ordinance administered
by the Selectmen. For consistency, it might be. well for all
villages in the Town to adopt some reasonable zoning regula-
tion in order that the entire zoning problem may be handled
in one manner.
During the course of the year, nine applications and ap-
peals were heard and decided by all members of the Board
of Appeals. Of this number, five applications were granted
and four were refused. All applications were processed
without delay and none remains undecided.
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL J. FERN, Chairman;
CECIL I. GOODSPEED,
GEORGE H. MELLEN, JR.

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
APPOINTED TO- STUDY CONDITIONS
AT CRAIGVILLE BEACH
January 12, 1951
Pursuant to the vote of the Town Meeting of •Marcb
1950 upon Article 54 "To see what action the town will take
concerning the care, custody and regulation of Craigville
Beach" this committee was appointed with instructions to
make a study of the matter and to report at the nest annual
town meeting.
To accomplish the purposes of this committee it was
necessary to make direct observations and to collect factual
data on the use .of the beach. Members of this committee
visited the beach, individually and sometimes in a group the
past summer at intervals between July 4th and Labor Day,
so that observations were made at least twice each week;
i.e. on the week-end and mid-week days of good weather.
This committee conducted a survey of the usage of the
Beach in cooperation with the Board of Selectmen, who made
available the services of men to act as checkers.
This survey vas operated on a total of 10 days in the
period between July 4th and Labor Day during the summer
of 1950, and included the 4th of July holiday, 4 week-ends
and 5 Wednesdays. The checkers were stationed at the exit
gate in front of the Town Bath House, and as cars came out
of the parking area, they were momentarily stopped and re-
quested to answer 3 questions, and replies were then tallied
on charts. The 3 questions were "What is your home town?"
—"How long are you staying on the Cape?"—"What`What town
on the Cape are you staying in?" The checkers also tallied
the number of cars bearing the Barnstable stickers which
267
were issued to residents by the Selectmen. On one Sunday a
count was made of the number of cars parked in the vicinity
of the Beach, and those turned away.when parking facilities
were full.
After Labor Day the factual data was analyzed and this
committee studied the results which, together with their
personal impressions, leads them to make certain conclusions
and recommendations.
Attention is called to the fact that this report is based
on experience during days of fair to good weather only, and
also that the committee recognizes two factors about which
it Was unable to collect data: i.e. (1) cars which did not get
into the parking area, and (2) cars which stayed away dur-
ing congested times, but which might otherwise have used
the area.
The result of our survey is expressed in percentages of
the number of cars questioned as follows:
121/2% were cars with Barnstable stickers
871/2% came from off the Cape
Of this 871/2% from off the Cape
less than 1/10 of 117o came from other Cape towns
59To came from off Cape Massachusetts
8% came from Rhode Island
3317o came from other states
22% were day trippers
18% stayed over for a few days
5017o stayed over for a week to a month
10% stayed "over for the season
Of those who stayed overnight:-
77% stayed in the Town of Barnstable
237o stayed in other Cape Towns
There was an average of 3.7 persons per car.
268
On mid-week days the parking space was not filled, but
there were a number of these days, especially when there was
high temperature, when the facilities were used to capacity.
On a typical wek-end day the Town Parking Area was
full almost all afternoon, accommodating 525 cars at a time.
In addition there were 151 cars parked on the roadsides, 35
cars parked in the sand at the westerly end of the paved
area, and 309 cars turned away for lack of space to stop;
or a total of 495 cars for which no proper parking facility
was available.
From the past summer's experience it is evident that
restriction of the area to residents of Barnstable and their
guests would not solve the congestion problem because the
present space would accommodate only about two-thirds of
those who would qualify under such restriction.
It was also noted that on busy days cars were parked
along the sides of the beach road and adjacent highways,
sometimes in a manner to restrict traffic to one line of mov-
ing cars, causing congestion that would be serious if an
ambulance or fire truck had to pass.
This committee concludes that the parking space is too
small to accommodate the number of cars that may reason-
ably be expected to come to this beach.
The recommendations of this committee.are:
FIRST (a) that the undeveloped area lying westerly of
the present paved area be paved and fenced with a separate
gate to the street, and that a substantial, but movable, bar-
rier be placed so as to partition off a space across the west-
erly end of the paved area sufficient to park approximately
125 cars.
(b) that this space be reserved exclusively for free ,
parking of cars, of Barnstable residents, bearing stickers
issued under direction of the Board of Selectmen. ("Barn-
stable residents") shall, in this case, be defined as persons'
269
who are voters of this town, or who own property in this
town, or who are tenants residing for at least one month in
rented property in this town. Applications of .said tenants
for stickers must be accompanied by written or personal cer-
tification by their property owner.)
(c) that signs be placed and a guard be posted in said
space at necessary hours to enforce such exclusive use.
(d) that this space may be varied in size by relocation of
the movable barrier from time to time at the discretion of
the Board of Selectmen, or the Custodian in charge of the
beach, so that an average maximum number of cars bearing
the stickers and wishing to park may reasonably do so.
SECOND that the entire remaining paved Town parking
area be operated as it was during 1950 except that the park-
ing fee be changed from 25c to at least 50c.
THIRD that the town establish the policy of acquiring
from time to time any and all property bounded by the beach
"road and the ocean and lying to the easterly of the present
Craigville Town Beach as far as, and including, the so-called
Wainwright property, to be added to, and used in the same
manner as, the present Beach, and that the sum of$30,000.00
be appropriated for the Board of Selectmen to use in making
such acquisitions.
FOURTH that the Board of Selectmen take appropriate
action to prohibit parking on one side, or both sides, of the
public way, or by widening the travelled way, or otherwise,
to ensure the movement of traffic in both directions at all
times along the beach road and adjacent highways.
FIFTH that this committee be continued for one year to
make further study and recommendations of conditions at
Craigville Beach.
This committee wishes to acknowledge the cooperation
and assistance of persons who helped in the work of pre-
2i0
paring this report, and in particular wishes to thank the
Board of Selectmen and their Custodian of the Beach, Mr.
Loring Jones; also the Police Department and Officer John
Bearse.

Report of the, School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
The School Committee takes pleasure in submitting its
annual report and the Report of the Superintendent of
Schools for the year ending December 31, 1950.
The construction of the new Hyannis Elementary
School is completed and will be ready for occupancy the
middle of February 1951. A detailed report on this build-
ing is included in the Superintendent's Report. Your School
Committee and your Superintendent of Schools have in-
spected- this building daily and they have been constantly,
in touch with the construction of the building through
numerous meetings with the architect. We feel proud of
our new educational plant and we sincerely hope that you,
the citizens of the town who made this building possible,
will inspect it when we hold Open House.
A detailed financial report of the operations of the
Barnstable Public Schools for 1950 is included in the
Superintendent's Report. The school system was operated
at a net cost to the Town of $336,009.81.
The school budget for 1951 is approximately eight per-
cent larger than it was a year ago due chiefly to the in-
creased cost of commodities and operating expenses.
The committee held seventeen meetings during the year
and the various schools in the town were inspected as usual.
Once again the committee acknowledges with appre-
ciation the earnest cooperation of all the members of the
277
School Department .personnel and the efforts of all other
organizations and individuals who have contributed in any
way to the successful operation of our schools.

Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Barnstable, Massachusetts
Miss Jean Hinkle and Gentlemen:
It is a privilege to submit my twelfth annual report
as Superintendent of the Public Schools of the Town of
Barnstable for the year ending December 31, 1950.
This year I have included sections from the various
annual reports prepared by the several administrative
members of the school department. It is my intent in so
doing to indicate to you and to the citizens of tJie town
a brief general summary of what has been going on in
our schools during the past year.
I have also inserted excerpts from a report presented
to me by Mr. James E. McLaughlin, architect of the ne-%v
elementary school in Hyannis. This report offers a com-
plete overview of the new building which may be of in-
terest to many at this time.
During the past year our school has been reviewed
by many individuals from numerous cities and towns inter-
ested in school building for their respective communities.
The town has received much recognition and praise con-
cerning our particular building. We, the teachers and the
children are proud and happy about our new school. We
hope that everyone interested will accept our invitation
to an Open House which will be held in the early part of
the year 1951. For those who may not be able to attend
on this occasion we sincerely urge them to visit their new
school at their convenience.

$725,000.00 was appropriated for building and completely
equipping an elementary school in the village of Hyannis.
Construction was begun on August 17, 1949 and the build-
ing should be completely finished and equipped ready for
occupancy before March •1, 1951.
Location
The building is located on Bearse's Way and includes
an area of approximately twenty acres with a frontage of
940 feet. The building is T shaped in outline and sets back
150 feet from the street and is located sufficiently distant
from the side lines of the lot to allow for future expansion.
Structure
While .the building has been constructed to make possi-
ble the addition of more classrooms, or other units as future
educational needs may require (without affecting structur-
ally the existing building), it has also been planned to rea-
sonably care for changing elementary school methods and
procedures. s5;
The school in general includes a lunchroom, kitchen,
recreation hall, toilet facilities, teachers' room, health unit,
principal's offices and twenty classrooms, fourteen of which
are located on the first floor and six of which are located
on the second floor in the center portion of the building.
Parking Areas and Approaches
Wide driveways at the north and south ends of the
front of the school lot lead to large parking areas at the
rear of the school, where pupil shelters are conveniently
located for bus loading. Entrances for pupils not trans-
ported are located at the center and ends of the school.
Classrooms
The classrooms are 22 feet.wide and 36 feet long with
extra work ,space for arts and crafts. They are equipped
with built-in casework, counter, wash bowl in a tile re-
cess, natural glass chalkboards, cork tack boards, book
281
cabinets, cardboard storage, and ventilated metal ward-
robes. The ceilings are covered with acoustical material and
the floors are surfaced with asphalt composition tile laid
on a resilient mastic base, except the floor surfacing in the
recreation room which is wood. The woodwork is finished
in a lialit warm tone, and the wall surfaces are treated with
two tone pastel colors.
Recreation Room, Lunchroom, and Service Rooms
This unit which is relatively noisy when in use is located
at the rear central portion of the building, so as to mini-
mize noise distraction to the school. The main school corri-
dor extends to this unit, and also to the entrances to bus
shelters. The recreation room is an all purpose room for
indoor play activities. It will have a regulation size school
basketball court, softball diamond, and- play circles,for
pupils in the lower grades.
Off the lunchroom is a completely equipped stainless
steel all electric kitchen. Complete built-in fittings for sup-
ply storage cabinets, and station for the supervisor in
charge have been provided. A separate all tile room for
waste storage and disposal with a separate loading door to
the outside is conveniently and accessibly located near the
kitchen. Bulk storage and supply rooms with outside loading
platforms are conveniently situated near the kitchen for
control by the administrative portion of the school.
The administrative offices and the clinic are in the
front of the building convenient to the central entrance.
The health -clinic is arranged.with medical and dental ex-
amination rooms, pupil dressing rooms, waiting room and
storage and supply closets. Each room in the clinic is
equipped with lavatories, instrument and medicine cabinets
and a separate toilet room for the unit.
The administrative unit is arranged with working
office, public waiting room, principal's office, fireproof
vault, and separate toilet and storage facilities.
282
The teachers' room is on the second floor at the front
of the building. Separate toilets, wardrobes and bookcases
are provided for this room.
Construction and Miscellaneous Information
The building is constructed of concrete, brick and steel
framing except the sloping roofs, which are wood frame,
and planking, and covered with heavy black asphalt
shingles.
The interior walls and partitions are built with -
masonry block units with glazed tile wainscoting five feet
high in the corridors. The walls of kitchen, recreation room,
lunchroom and stairways are tiled the full height from floor
to ceiling. The stairways are enclosed with solid brick fire
walls. All openings to stairs are protected with metal fire
doors. Acoustical material is used on ceilings throughout
the building except in the lunchroom. In this room the con-
crete ceiling construction is formed with deep sound ab-
sorbing panels.
All corridors are sub-divided in sections, with metal
firedoors for pupil protection and safe egress in emergency.
Where additional light transmission is essential in the cor-
ridors, panels of insulation glass block units, have been
used in the partition walls, and roof lights in the ceiling
above.
The pupils toilets and wash rooms are conveniently
located in various sections throughout the building. Under
the building space has been left for servicing the various
lines of utility piping. The usual service elements are pro-
vided in accordance with modern school practice, including
direct and indirect electric lighting, zone controlled heat-
ing and ventilating, program signalling, electric clocks,
metal built-in pupil lockers, etc. Piping, electric mains and
the like are arranged to take care of future expansion.
Landscaping of the street front of the school lot, and
283
,
top soil surfacing of the playfield,has been deferred and will
be done in the early spring, so as to ensure proper growth
under favorable conditions, for grass and shrubs.
Elementary Schools
Harvard H. Broadbent
The modern elementary school is concerned with the
many-sided development of its pupils. While the schools of
a half-century ago were endeavoring primarily to teach the
so-called three "R's", the elementary schools of today are
concerned with the social, physical, and emotional develop-
ment of their pupils as well as their development in the
tool subjects. Educators sometimes refer to this develop-
ment as the education of the "whole child".
To report on the whole program of the Barnstable
Elementary Schools would result in a report of consider-
able length. Therefore, it has been decided to consider
only certain aspects of our program.
The Three "R's"
As a School Report of a few years ago dealt with this
subject, it does not seem necessary at this time to go into
this matter in much detail. Suffice it to say that our elemen-
tary schools definitely believe that one of their functions
is to teach reading, writing and arithmetic.
Evidence of our success in the teaching of reading,
which by the way, includes the teaching of phonics, is
clearly shown by the results of annual reading tests which
show our pupils to be above average.
While formal instruction in the teaching of arithmetic
does not begin until the third grade under our system, be-
ginning in this grade emphasis is placed on the acquisition
of arithmetic skills with attention also focused on the ap-
plication of these %kills to arithmetic problems encountered
in every-day life.
284
•Results of the Rinehart Functional Handwriting Sys-
tem, which was instituted in Barnstable in 1945, continue
to be gratifying with many reports corning from the faculty
of Barnstable High School noting the improved penman-
ship which is evident.
Spelling
During the year a committee of teachers completed a
study of the teaching of spelling. This committee was com-
posed of Miss Hazel Connor, Chairman, Mrs. Dorothy Moore,
Mrs. Gertrude Murray, and Mrs. Margaret O'Neil.
In its final report, the committee outlined the objectives
in the teaching of spelling, numerous suggested procedures,
the relationship of phonetic analysis to the teaching of
spelling, recommendations for improving teaching tech-
niques in spelling, suggestions for teachers teaching double
gr.ades, a list of guiding principles, and a suggested list of
words by grades.
This committee emphasized in its report that the teach-
ing of spelling involves much more than the ability to spell
correctly a list of words dictated by the teacher; it involves
the ability to spell correctly whenever words are written.
The results of our spelling program will be determined `
by standardized tests which will be administered at the end
of the school year as well as by teacher observation as to
whether our pupils are becoming more spelling conscious.
This brief report on spelling has been made as,it illus-
trates two principles in the philosophy of our elementary
school program. In the first place, it illustrates our belief
that the members of our faculty, the most important element
in any school system, should be consulted in the develop-
ment of the curriculum 'and teaching procedures. In the
second place, it illustrates our philosophy that the teaching
of skills is of little value, if those skills are not utilized by
the pupil.
285
Instrumental Music
An outstanding development in the field of instru-
mental music has been the progress made toward the forma-
tion of what might be called an All Grade-School Ensemble.
Under the leadership of Mr. Simon Gesin, our music super-
visor, instrumental ensembles have been formed in several
of the elementary schools., In the very near future, plans
call for bringing the pupils together from all the schools
for the rehearsal of the projected All Grade-School
Ensemble.
The realization of this school orchestra will bring to a
culmination a program of individual instruction in various
musical instruments which has been in effect during the
past few years. During the past year instruction has been
given to severity-eight pupils; thirty-two in the Training
School, ten in Centerville, four in Marstons Mills, fifteen in
Osterville, six in Cotuit, nine in Barnstable, and two in
West, Barnstable.
The creation of various school ensembles and the plans
for an All Grade-School Ensemble are important develop-
ments in our program of music education, as not only is
the'interest of our pupils in instrumental music increased,
but such a plan furnishes a "feeder group" for the orches-
tra and band in the High School.
Inter-School Athletics
Further illustrating our interest in the many-sided de-
velopment of our pupils is our program of inter-school
athletics. In the spring a baseball tournament was con-
ducted and in the fall our attention was devoted to soccer.
The Osterville School was the winner of the soccer
tournament, while the Hyannis Training School was de-
clared winner of the baseball tournament.
Pupil interest in the program has been high and teacher
cooperation excellent.
286
Inter-school athletics is of value as it brings together
pupils from the various schools in town, aids in the physical
development of pupils, and offers an excellent opportunity
for teaching such character traits as cooperation and good
sportsmanship.
The program has been under the direction of Mr. Ver-
non Bearse, physical education supervisor.
Transition From Elementary To High School
For sometime we have recognized that it is difficult for
pupils going from our sixth grade to the High School to
adjust to the new situation. In order to make this transi-
tion smoother for our pupils, all sixth grade pupils were
taken to the High School last year before the close of
school.
A tour of the school building with visits to the lunch-
room, library, shops, and other facilities gave these sixth-
graders an understanding of the new situation they were
about to enter. In addition, the principal of the High School
explained to these pupils just what the High School was
like and answered many of their questions.
We believe that adjustment to the new school situation
was helped by this procedure.
Summer Session
For the first time a five week summer session was held
for pupils in Grades I, II, and III. Because of the concen-
tration of pupils in Hyannis, instruction was given in the
Hyannis Training School. Special help was given to thirty
pupils by the teachers, Miss Hazel Connor and Mrs. Eliza-
beth Hudson.
As a result of the summer session four pupils were
promoted who might otherwise have been retarded. In addi-
tion, many pupils were much better prepared for the grade
they entered in September.
287
Pupils were tested at the beginning and end of the
session in order that we might evaluate the effectiveness
of the program. A few reports from the teachers are highly
significant. Concerning one pupil the teacher reported:
"Gained nine months in test results. Improved greatly
in fluency, vocabulary, and word attack. Her interest and
success in phonics made the high test gain."
Concerning another pupil, the teacher reported:
"Gained three months in test results. Improved in
fluency, vocabulary, and word attack. Speech difficulty im-
proved somewhat." I
Total attendance in the 20 days of the session was 484
with average attendance 24.20.
This brief report on our summer session is important
for several reasons:
(1) It. illustrates our interest in the individual pro-
gress of each pupil in our school system.
(2) It is an example of the wise investment of funds
as it cuts down repetition of grades by individual pupils
with a consequent saving to the town.
(3) It is of particular benefit to those children who
have been absent from school due to illness.
Summaxy
At. the beginning of this report it was pointed out that
our elementary schools are concerned with the many-sided
development of our pupils. This report has attempted to
show just a few of those many aspects of a pupil with which
we are concerned by pointing out our interest in the three
"It's", spelling, music, inter-school athletics, pupil adjust-
ment, and- progress of individual pupils.

The reports.of our boys and girls attending college are
very gratifying. We believe that we are meeting the,needs
of the pupils in all other courses as well as in the college
290
course. Reports from the field indicate that our business
course graduates are receiving excellent training for the
work they are to perform.
The boatbuilding, carpentry and machine shop courses
provide excellent opportunities for boys who 'are interested
in learning a trade. Courses in agriculture and household
arts have been included in our program of studies for many
years. There are very few schools in the state which offer
a program as comprehensive as that offered by Barnstable
High School.
Standing of the School
Barnstagle High School is rated a. Class A school by
the State Department of Education.
i
In October the Iowa Tests of Educational Development
were given to all pupils in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. These
tests, -which measure the skills and abilities that high school
pupils should have as part of their general education, are
given to thousands of pupils throughout the United States.
In every grade, Barnstable High School pupils rated above
average in these tests.
Guidance
Guidance has again been offered to each of ten'divisions
in the seventh and eighth grades on a group basis. The
seventh grade classes ,have been concerned with school
orientation, development of good.study habits and good
mental hygiene. In the eighth grade the emphasis has been
on proper course selection.
A testing program has been conducted, using stand-
ardized group tests. One follow-up study of graduates has
been completed. Information on further schooling and on
occupational opportunities has been furnished. Many con-
ferences have been held with pupils to assist them in get-
ting the most out of their high school career.
The Building
The removal of the sixth grade pupils to the Maritime
291
Academy in September made three classrooms available
for high school use. The room adjoining the typewriting
room has been remodeled for the commercial department
as an office machines room, and the room over the machine
shop in the Iyanough building is being used for trade school
classes and for visual education.
At the present time, the building is used to the limit
recommended by the State Department of Public Safety.
An examination of the elementary school enrollment in-
dicates that additional rooms will be needed at the high
school by September 1954. When an addition is built, it
should include a study room with a capacity of sixty pupils,
and a cafeteria which will accommodate 450 pupils at a
time. Additional seats for the football field would be greatly
appreciated by the spectators.
School Activities
The chief problem concerning school activities during
the past year has been a financial one. In this period of
increasing costs, our expenses are increasing much faster
than our income. Many desirable activities cannot be oper-
ated at a profit. The funds raised in a magazine subscrip-
tion campaign prevented the curtailment of baseball and
golf. Plans for increasing the financial support for now
renumerative athletics are now being considered.
Audio-Visual Education
The tape recorder and the three speed record player
which were purchased in December are welcome additions
to our audio-visual equipment. The Future Farmers of
America is attempting to raise funds by means of waste
paper collections to snake possible the purchase of a sound
moving picture machine for classroom use. Two rooms have
been equipped with blackout curtains for .film projection.
In conclusion, I wish to express_ my appreciation to
the many organizations and individuals who have assisted
the school during the past year. To the superintendent and
292
members of the faculty; I extend my sincere thanks for
their assistance and cooperation.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
Theodore W. Glover, Jr.
The following report is an effort to give a rather com-
prehensive picture of. what has taken place locally this
last year in the field of vocational education.
Trade School
Barnstable Trade School is approved by the State De-
partment of Education which results in the town being re-
imbursed by the state to the extent of fifty percent of the
net maintenance cost. It is officially not a part of the high
school although many facilities are used in common and
cooperation between the two schools is one hundred percent.
Vocational education is definitely set up to teach
trades and only those pupils may be accepted and retained
who show promise of meeting that objective. ,
We are still operating only the •three departments
,vhich we have had for a number of years—boat building,
carpentry and machine shop. Expansion is needed both
within the departments we already have and for others
to be set up. The most urgent need at the present.time is a.
fully equipped automotive shop and a much larger car-
pentry shop. Shops and classes for other building trades
are also desired..
This much needed expansion can be best accomplished
by the erection of a separate trade school building located
on the high school grounds in order that the trade school
might still use high school teachers and facilities for the
academic and extra curricular parts of the program..
It is believed that many more high school boys would
transfer to trade school if the offerings were wider than
those available at present.
293'
Agricultural Department
For sometime prior to 1950 one of our agricultural in-
structors was devoting one-half his time to the training
on the home farm or supervision of training on some other
farm of a group of veterans operating under the G.I. educa-
tional setup. As of January 1, 1950, this work was taken
over by the Massachusetts Department of Education. The
day school classes were then consolidated under one in-
structor.
The department is carrying 'on a widely diversified, in-
teresting and valuable program. A change of emphasis
has been made in the course, of study with less time being
spent on,animal husbandry, which is a minor, in Cape Cod
agriculture, and.correspondingly more time on the many
branches of horticulture.
Donation of a tractor from Government surplus has
provided the opportunity for basic study and practice in
repair, servicing and operation.
The shop program conducted each winter in building
maintenance and farm,machinery repair both automotive
and other still proves to be an important phase of the
general agricultural training. .
Another important part' of the agricultural program
is the Chapter of the Fixture Farmers of America. This
organization is both State -and National in its leadership
and gives the boys training in parliamentary law, social
leadership and group cooperation in enterprises. of civic
value.
Our local chapter has sponsored a forestry project—
the State forest on the Centerville-West Barnstable Road.
Here under a state-district forester the boys are learning
and practicing the principles of forestry.
. Each year speaking contests are held in which chap-
ters compete by districts for eligibility in the state contest.
We have won our district contest for .the last. two years.
294
i
Household Arts
Vocational Household arts continues to be given in the
tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, but not as many girls
are taking advantage of the opportunity as should be. Here
the girls 'who are not planning for further schooling or an
office position can get splendid training.
Evening School
Last January and again in October adult citizens of
the town were invited to enroll in evening courses held at
the high school. Many took advantage of this opportunity
and last winter courses were conducted in art, citizenship,
machine shop, pottery, rug hooking, sewing, tailoring, type-
writing and woodwork. These sessions ended with an ex-
cellent exhibit in March.
As a result of registration in October, classes were be-
gun in citizenship, jewelry, knitting, pottery, rug hooking,
sewing, Spanish, tailoring, tray painting, typewriting, wood-
work.
Most of these classes meet once a- week for a three-hour
session, a few of them meet for two hours twice a week.
Classes were also held last winter and again in the fall
providing related study for apprentices. Four courses were
provided—one each for carpenters, electricians, and plumb-
ers and a miscellaneous group covering several trades.
On-the-Job-Training
Approval of firms and supervision of programs for
On-the-Job Training for veterans is conducted by all state-
aided vocational schools under supervision of the State De-
partment of Education. For five years we have served the
whole of Cape Cod but, the load has been rapidly decreas-
ing for two years now and soon will be entirely completed.
Conclusion
During the year I have continued to enjoy my work
with my fellow workers and with the citizens of the Town
295
of Barnstable. I appreciate and acknowledge the friendly_
cooperation of the teachers and members of the school-de-
partment, of the School Committee, of the town officials
and individuals from other departments and of the towns-
people. This helpful assistance and cooperation makes it a
privilege to strive continually for better education for our
girls and boys.
Respectfully submitted,
MELVIN C. KNIGHT,
Superintendent of Schools
296
Report of School Health Department
The School Health Program continues to take greater
cognizance .of the physical and mental needs of the in-
dividual child. The search for better ways of performing
the duties of this department will be heightened by in-
creased educational activities during 1951.
The School Dentist conducted classroom inspections
of all pupils through the first four grades, and parents
were notified of defects found. Remedial work was done
by the dentist during the thirty-eight clinics which were
held.
A. valuable addition to the dental program this year
was the fluoride treatment which was sponsored by the
County Health Department. These treatments were admin-
istered to children in the age groups of seven, ten and
thirteen, during the Spring and Summer months.
Hearing tests, with the Maico Audiometer, were given
to all pupils. A total of nineteen hundred and twenty-six
were tested and of these twenty-nine were found to have
hearing losses of varying degrees.
We have continued our spaced physicals, giving each
child four complete examinations during his school life,
and more frequently if indicated.
The eyes of all pupils are examined annually, and
parents are notified if defective vision is found. The eye
clinic sponsored by the District Nursing Association is
available to the school children in the Town of Barnstable.
Periodic classroom inspections are made by the nurse,
and teachers are on the alert for symptoms of illness and
communicable disease.
The school has felt the loss of the state directed Child
297
Guidance Clinic and it is,hoped that some suitable arrange-
ment may be made in the near future to replace the work
that was carried on by this clinic.
Our school system shares with other social and health
institutions the responsibility for promoting individual
family and community health. Since the essential purpose
of the school is education, the emphasis and the method
of the school in a health program is essentially.educational,
and the entire program should be looked upon as an ad-
venture in learning to live healthfully.
We wish once again to express our appreciation to,the,
parents, the family physicians and health and welfare
organizations who have co-operated so splendidly with the
School Health Program.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT D. WATT, M.D.

REPORT OF THE .SELECTMEN..
Since World.War II our Town has increased some
twenty-two percent in population and more than fifty percent
in assessed valuation. In excess of sixteen hundred new
dwellings have been built in Barnstable during this time.
The most active building areas have been Hyannis, Center-
ville, and .Osterville. The Town of Barnstable is without ,
doubt one of the fastest growing communities in the entire
country.
Such phenominal growth cannot be accomplished with-
out experiencing a considerable amount of `.`growing pains."
As our population has increased,our need for,new and larger
schools has become evident. When the Town votes the money
for a new school in Centerville, the total for new schools
since. 1948 will exceed a million dollars. A new high school
will soon be needed, for which at least another million will
be required.
The Town's rapid growth has also necessitated rapid ex.-
pansion of our highway system through the necessity of lay-
ing out new roads to serve newly built up'areas. In the last
three years alone the Selectmen have laid out or, altered 48
town ways. Each such layout or alteration has to follow
lengthy legal procedure, which explains why the.Selectmen
can do only a limited number each.year.
Repercussions have also'been felt in all branches of the
town government,..particularly the police, assessing and engi-
neering departments. The Engineering Department has been
understaffed for several years and,at the present time is
completely "snowed under." It has ,done a most commend-
able job under adverse circumstances. We are asking the
town to appropriate this year money enough to provide three
additional, badly needed employee's for this department.
7
In spite of the unavoidable requirements of our fast
growing town and notwithstanding the fact that inflation
has more than doubled the cost of living in the past decade,
we have been very fortunate in keeping our tax rate within
bounds; only about 20 percent above pre-war years and, in-
cluding the fire district taxes, two-thirds as high as the state
average. The average tax rate in Massachusetts in 1951 was
about $50., whereas the Barnstable rate was $30.50 plus the
fire district rates.
The end of 1951 finds the Town in excellent financial
condition. We have very sizeable surplus accounts'and are
retiring our bonded debt rapidly, at the rate of $93,000.
yearly. Current indebtedness will be completely paid up at
the end of eight years. Financially we should be able to
handle whatever local problems arise without undue diffi-
culty. The national fiscal picture is; something else again,
but we will not concern ourselves with that in this report.
A careful perusal of this book will disclose that most
departments of the town are functioning efficiently and well.
It seems to me that we are particularly fortunate in having
such excellent officials as Town Clerk and Treasurer Clar-
ence M. Chase, and Collector Howard W. Sears, handling
our financial departments. Both are very close to being
"tops" in their field. If and when either of them retire, re-
placement will indeed be difficult.
The Barnstable Housing Authority, an unpaid commis-
sion, has completed another highly commendable year, re-
turning$3000. to the town treasury through careful manage-
ment of the units under its jurisdiction.
There are other departments which we know have been
operated most efficiently, but since their work is not at all
closely associated with ours it is scarcely within our province
to discuss their operation.
This year, at the 'suggestion of Selectman E. Thomas
Murphy, we instituted a contest.in the High School to pro-
8
duce a new cover design for our town report..Art Supervisor
Vernon H. Coleman interested several students in the con-
test and was of invaluable assistance both to them and to the
Selectmen. We acknowledge with gratitude his fine co-opera-
tion. The design on this year's report cover is that of the
avinner, Brooks Kelly. The second prize winner was Alfred
Barrow. The third prize went to William Childs and the
fourth to Judith Lagergren. All showed outstanding.artistic
ability.
As we speak of co-operation it should' be said that we
have had the cooperation of all departments this year, as for
some time past. Outstanding, however, is the co-operation
we have received from the Highway Department and.the
Board of Health. Their willingness to co-operate with us in
projects which were somewhat outside the scope of their
own departments, has been of invaluable assistance to the
Selectmen and has saved the town considerable. sums of
money.
Respectfully submitted,
VICTOR F..ADAMS.

REPORT OF ASSESSORS
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
I respectfully submit the annual report of the Board of
Assessors.
In 1951 the Town appropriated $1,610,376.58 for Town
purposes and $205,507.69 for State and County Assessments,
which, plus the overlay for abatements, made a total of
$1,815,884.27 that ,had to be provided for the year 1951.
There were receipts against this grand total of $491,169.79
which-the Assessors estimated would be received from In-
come and Corporation Taxes, Motor Vehicle and Trailer
Excise Taxes, Licenses, Old Age Assistance, Reimburse-
ments for Public Welfare, etc. Also the Town voted to take
$115,600. from available funds, making the net amount to
be raised by taxation $1,209,114.48. The resulting tax rate
was $30.50 for 1951.
On April 11, 1951, the Assessors suffered a great loss in
the death of Anne Lou Jenkins. Anne Lou, as she was known
to everyone in the Town,had worked for this department for
over 25 years. Her knowledge of assessing matters was in-
comparable. Her ability and integrity was recognized and
deeply appreciated by every Board of Assessors with which
she worked. Although her place was very difficult to fill, we
have tried our best, with the co-operation of our workers, to
achieve the high efficiency which Anne Lou always had. It
was a severe loss and a very hard one to overcome.
I would like to acknowledge the co-operation I have re-
ceived from the other members of the Board and the clerical
staff of the Assessing Department.
GEORGE L. CROSS,
Chairman, Board of Assessors.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Department of Corporations and Taxation
Division of Accounts
State House, Boston 33
May 21, 1951
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Victor F. Adams, Chairman
Barnstable, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books
and accounts of the Town of Barnstable for the period from
March 21, 1950 to February 12, 1951, made in accordance
with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in
the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine,
Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
FRANCIS X. LANG,
Director of Accounts.
Mr. Francis X. Lang
Director of Accounts
:Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir:
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books
and accounts of the Town of Barnstable for the period from
March 21, 1950, the date of the previous examination, to
62
February 12, 1951, the following report being submitted
thereon:
The books and accounts kept by the accounting officer
were examined, checked, and compared with the records of
the several departments in which money is collected or bills
are committed for collection and with the records of the
town treasurer.
The general and appropriation accounts in the ledgers
were analyzed, the appropriations and transfers being com-
pared with the town clerk's record of financial votes'passed
in town meetings and with the finance committee's records
of transfers from the reserve fund. A trial balance was taken
off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance
sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on
February 12, 1951, was prepared and is appended to this
report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were .
examined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed,
the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the
departmental records of payments to the treasurer'and with
other sources from which money was paid into the town
treasury, while the records of disbursements were compared
with the accounting officer's books and with the'treasury
warrants.
The treasurer's cash balance on February 12; 1951 was
proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with state-
ments furnished by the banks of deposit.
The recorded payments on account of maturing,debt
and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts
falling due and checked with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the
investments.of the trust and investment funds in the custody
of the town treasurer were examined and listed,.the income
being proved and the disbursements being verified.
63
The receipts from parking meter fees did not lend them-
selves to audit due to lack of proper records. It is recom-
mended that a detailed cash record be kept by the town .
treasurer showing, with respect to each meter installed, the
meter number, the amount of fees collected periodically, and
the date of collection. All fees collected should be received,
prepared for deposit, and deposited in the bank by the town
treasurer and the proper entry in the treasurer's'cash book
made at that time..
The records of tax titles and tag possessions held by the
town were examined and checked in detail. The town and
district taxes transferred to the tax title account were
checked to the collector's records, the redemptions of tax
titles and sales of tax possessions were checked to the treas-
urer's cash book, and the tax titles and tax possessions on
hand were listed, reconciled with the accounting officer's
ledger, and compared with the records in the Registry of
Deeds. .
The books and accounts of the town collector were exam-
ined and checked. The,town and district taxes, motor vehicle
and .trailer excise, assessments, and departmental accounts
outstanding according to the previous examination and all
subsequent commitments were audited and proved, the,pay-
ments to the town and district treasurers were verified, the
abatements were checked to the records in the departments
authorized to grant abatements,and the outstanding accounts
were listed and proved with ,the accounting officer's ledger.
Verification of the correctness of the outstanding ac-
counts was made .by mailing notices, to .a number of persons
whose,names appeared on the books as owing money to the
town and the districts, and from the replies received it ap-
pears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The town clerk's records of dog, sporting, and miscella-
neous town licenses issued were examined, the payments to
the State_being verified-by comparison with the receipts on
64
file and the payments to the town treasurer being compared
with the treasurer's cash book.
The books and accounts of the treasurer of the District
Department of Veterans' Services were examined and
checked. The amount received during the period of the
audit for the expenses of the district was verified. The pay-
ments were compared with the warrants authorizing the
treasurer to disburse district funds, and the cash balance on
February 12, 1951 was proved by reconciliation of the bank
balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.
The financial records of the selectmen, the sealer of
weights and measures, and of the police, health, and school
departments, as well as of all other departments collecting
money for the town, were examined and checked with the
treasurer's cash receipts and with the records of the account-
ing officer.
The surety bonds of the financial officials bonded for
the faithful performance of their duties were examined and,
found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance
sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the several cash
accounts,summaries of the town and fire district taxes,motor
vehicle and trailer excise, assessments, tax titles, and depart-
mental accounts, together with tables showing the condition
and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was
received from the officials of the town and the district, for
which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to
express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.

Report of
THE SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the
Town of Barnstable:
During the past year we have completed the surfacing
of Yarmouth Road using Chapter 90 Construction funds. We
have also built with asphalt approximately 1800 feet of side-
walk on this street. This leaves about 2000 feet of sidewalk
to be completed at some future time.
Under our Chapter 90 Maintenance program we resur-
faced the remainder of Shoot Flying Hill Road with pea
gravel. The shoulders were also repaired. We also replaced
some of the old wooden fence on South Main Street in Cen-
terville and painted all the other Chapter 90 fences that
needed it.
Three small pieces of drainage were installed in the
town, viz.: corner of West Bay Road and Parker Road,
Osterville; Main Street, Centerville, and Ridgewood, Hyan-
nis. Leaching basins were built on the newly surfaced roads
where necessary and the funds allowed.
The Baxter, Bearse, Lewis, Otis, Hallet Roads, Ocean
Street and Hawes Avenue, Brookshire Roads and Franklin
Avenue in Hyannis were surfaced with gravel mixed in
place. Hinckley Road was given a surface treatment and is in
good condition at present. Chestnut Street was cut through,
graded and surface treated and will receive a mixed in place
top as soon as the weather permits. A curb and sidewalk, for
the convenience of the school children, was also built on the
south side of this street from Winter Street to Bearse's Way.
Grove Street, West Hyannisport, was surfaced as well as
part of Bump's River Road and Pond Street in Osterville.
200
A section of the road across Rushy Marsh in Cotuit was
resurfaced and about a mile of this road was sealed with sand.
Wianno Avenue was also sealed with sand for its entire
length.
The street marking lines were extended to all the busier
streets.
New sidewalks were built in Hyannis, Hyannisport,
Barnstable, West Barnstable, Cotuit, Osterville and the side-
walk on Main Street in Centerville was resurfaced.
All the streets in the Ridgewood section of Hyannis and
part of Main Street, Centerville, were sealed with pea stone.
One new truck was added to our fleet this year.
The other equipment has been kept in good repair in our
repair shop at the garage on Route 28.
There is an urgent need for more sidewalks in the town
to take care of our increasing,population.
There are several bad water conditions in the town and
we are inserting special articles in the warrant for your con-
sideration. If acted on favorably they will help to alleviate
this condition.
In conclusion I would like to express my thanks and ap-
preciation to the. other department heads and my own per-
sonnel for their co-operation throughout the year.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
January 31, 1952.
The Planning Board considers 1951 as one of their most
constructive years. The following is a resume of their 1951
endeavors.
ZONING: Three articles were inserted for zoning
changes, including Hyannis as a Residence A District, and
all were unanimously adopted.
BARNSTABLE ROAD: An article was presented to the
Town Meeting for the widening of Barnstable Road. It was
defeated at the regular Town Meeting and again at a special
Town Meeting. The same article will appear in the 1952
Warrant, and it seems apparent from the amount of interest
and its vital function in the flow of traffic,that it will receive
a favorable vote this year.
SOIL REMOVAL RESTRICTIONS: An article calling
for restrictions on soil removal was voted down at the regu-
lar meeting but passed at a special Town Meeting. This type
of restriction is necessary for the•preservation of the beauty
of Barnstable.
SANDY NECK: The meeting voted to acquire 100 acres
of Sandy Neck for future use; but due to legal entangle-
ments, the Town has not yet taken title to it.
ROAD PROJECTS: Bassett Lane is to be widened by
vote of the meeting. Chestnut Street was extended from
Ridgewood to Bearse's Nay. North Street extension was
laid out.
All the above mentioned articles were sponsored by the
Planning Board.
HYANNIS TRAFFIC: The Planning Board employed
203
Shurcliff & Shurcliff of Boston to see if ways could be de-
vised to alleviate traffic conditions in Hyannis. A report was
made entitled "Report to the Town of Barnstable Planning
Board on Extension of North Street and Re-Routing of Traf-
fic in Hyannis. The Planning Board accepted the report as
made, with the exception of one-way traffic. One-way traffic
should be imposed only if, and when, it is needed.
An article will be inserted in the 1952 Warrant calling
on the Selectmen to lay out the extension as proposed.

REPORT OF BUILDING INSPECTOR
January 31, 1952.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
The year 1951 has seen some sharp decreases in the f
building program in the Town of Barnstable. These de-
creases are due, in part, to governmental curtailment of ma-
terials and credit.
There has been a 47% decrease in the total number of
permits issued, and a ,still further decrease in the total ap-
proximate valuations for 1951, which were.down 53°Jo. The
comparison of these two figures reflects the result of.the ban
on commercial, industrial and recreational building.
There was a 6617c decrease in the total number of house
permits issued in 1951 as compared with 1950. However, the
decrease in the total approximate valuations of these houses
was down only 617o, which indicates that a better class of
house was built in 1951. It was quite noticeable that in 1951
there were very few speculative houses built and no specula-
tive developments, which was the bulk of the residential
building in 1950 and 1949.
The average cost of the 1950 house was $6,329, as com-
pared with the cost of the average 1951 house of $7,344.
The average cost of a 1950 permit was $5,393, as com-
pared with $4,748 for a 1951 permit.
Below is a list of the total approximate valuations as
taken from the building permits:
1946 $902,095 1949 $5,415,740
1947 1,211,160 1950 4,619,675
1948 2,550,410 1951 21,184,140

Report of
TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
The majority of large elm trees and other large shade
trees in the several villages are generally in good condition.
There has been noticeable increase in the amount of dead
wood removed from the trees on the south side of the town
adjacent to the water. The large native trees that were up-
rooted as a result of the last hurricane destroyed the shade
trees' natural protection and left them exposed to the direct
blast of salt winds from the ocean. The accumulated damage
to some of the trees in this area has resulted in the death of
several large trees.This is not only a great loss to the location
from which the trees were removed, but this large tree re-
moval is very costly to this department, as the removal of
one of these.trees costs between$100.00 and$200.00, depend-
ing on location and work involved in the removal.
During the past growing season, a program of fertilizing
the trees through the leaves was carried out.experimentally.
This is the very latest method developed for feeding all
types of plant and tree growth. The result obtained seemed
to justify the more extensive work with this new system dur-
ing the coming growing season. This liquid fertilizer is espe-
cially good in caring for the newly planted trees, for they
can be watered and fertilized in the same operation.
Two hundred new shade trees were planted this year as
new plantings and replacements. These trees were planted
early in the spring and when necessary a large pocket was
filled with soil to insure good growth. All trees have greatly
increased in price and we feel that every possible care should
be given to them. We ask all property owners to cooperate
in this work of caring for the trees adjacent to their prop-
208
erty..,The law allo'Avs the Tree Warden to plant new trees
within thirty feet of the town lay-out with the permission
of the property owner. I mention this law because, in many
cases on account of the utility lines, it is advisable to set the
trees back from the road lay-out. During the past year it was
necessary to use mostly soft maples in these new plantings.
Hard maples have been very scarce during the. last few
years, due to the large demand. I have been able,to locate
two hundred hard maples for .planting during the coming
season.
While carrying out the general pruning for highway and
sidewalk clearance, it was also necessary to remove several
dead pines that were in danger of falling into the highways.
Fourteen large shade trees'were removed from various loca-
tions, twelve being on the south'side of town and two being
on the north. Over half of these trees were elms. The pruning
of the large shade'trees'continues'to be a'large item in the
work of this department.
The tent caterpillar continues to be well.under control.
During :the regular spraying operations ,only two colonies
were.found. These were quickly eliminated.
The-elm-leaf beetle was about'average during the past
season. This disease is watched very closely during the entire
season,which lasted well into August. I think it is safe to say
tha£we are making headway in.the .control.of .this insect
thereby reducing damage to our trees.,
A large colony of satin moths-was discovered on the
westerly side of Hyannis. These were'promptly sprayed and
we will check the location in the coming season for any sign
of this insect.
Respectfuly submitted,.
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Tree Warden.

REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Two full years after the airplane spraying of Barnstable
County, I am pleased to report that the Gypsy Moth situa-
tion within this town is well under control. It is the desire
of this department to eliminate this insect entirely and this
may become possible when all of the neighboring counties
have carried out a.similar program. Keeping a careful check
of any increase in the insect is one of the chief duties of this
department. By means of the trapping system the entire area
of the town is checked at least three times a week during
the hatching and eating periods of the Gypsy Moth. During
the past season about fourteen moths were trapped in an area
extending across the entire town. During the winter these
areas marked on the map will be scouted for egg clusters and
the following season checked carefully for any infestation
that may start up. It was the opinion of the State Depart-
ment that these Gypsy Moths were blown in from the neigh-
boring islands.
Additional work was carried out during the past year
on the wood tick control problem. This insect is usually found
in grassy areas instead of wooded areas as is commonly as-
sumed. This somewhat confines the control areas to parks and
recreation grounds because many of the infested areas can-
not be reached by roadside spraying.
The poison ivy control program has been carried out in
several badly infested areas bordering on the highways. The
results of this work seem to be satisfactory but in most cases
it will be necessary for follow-up work next year.
The Brown-tail Moth situation is in a very satisfactory
condition over the entire town. Scouting for this insect is
210
carried out every winter so that new colonies can be detected
and exterminated.
After checking continually during the entire growing
season I am pleased to report that the Dutch Elm disease has
not been found in our town. This department is always alert
for new methods for the protection of the elms from this
dread disease.
Respectfuly submitted,
JOHN F. SHIELDS,
Moth Superintendent.

REPORT OF FOREST FIRE WARDEN
Centerville, Mass.,
January 11, 1952.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable,
Gentlemen:
I herewith'submit my second annual report which is
for the year ending December 31, 1951.
The department answered calls for 25 brush fires, 23
grass, 1 barn, 1 rubbish, 3 dumps, and 4 plane crashes, mak-
ing a total of 57 fires from the following causes:
Incinerator 6 Electric short 1
Smokers 16 Dumps 3
Debris burning 8 Welding 2
Plane crashes 4 Campers 1
Children 13 Incendiary 1
Hot ashes 1 Barn 1
The total area burned was approximately 14 acres. This
low acreage is a credit to the fine cooperation shown by,the
people and the excellent work done by the Patrol.
There were 1815 permits issued during the year for open
air fires.
The old patrol truck was replaced with a new Ford and
a radio was installed on one of the brush breakers, making
all our trucks radio equipped.
One of our brush breakers is 15 years old and needs to be
replaced this year as we are unable to obtain parts for it.
With the replacement of this truck we will have as good a
set of Forest Fire trucks found anywhere on the Cape.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES HALLETT,
Forest Fire Warden.

Report of
THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE
From January 1, 1951 to December 31, 1951
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
I hereby submit to you my fifth annual report as Shell-
fish Constable of the Town of Barnstable.
The total•value of shellfish taken from waters in the
town is as follows:
Razor clams $3,780.00
Clams 50.00
Scallops 4,950.00
Quahogs 27,090.00
Oysters 625.00
$36,495.00
Clams
The clam situation in Barnstable Harbor is the same as
in 1950,with very little seed showing.There is a small amount
in other parts of the town, but the prospects for clams at
present are not good.
Razor Clams
There were about twelve men digging razor clams in
Barnstable Harbor at various times, and there is still an
ample supply available.
Scallops
The scallop season opened October 1 with about twenty-
two commercial permits issued. Most all of the scallops were
214
in Lewis Bay,Hyannis,with a few in Cotuit. The price ranged
from $7.00 to $8.50 a gallon. The outlook for 1952 is fair.
Oysters
Most of the oysters are taken out of the Centerville
River and Bumps River, and are for family use. They are
quite plentiful.
Quahogs
The year 1951 was fair for quahogs, and the price about
the same as the year before. However, the outlook for 1952
is not as good, with less seed showing. We transplanted
from a contaminated area in Hyannis, 185 bushels in Lewis
Bay, Hyannis, 180 bushels in Cotuit, and 80 bushels in
Osterville.
Propagation and Protection
The town employed one man full-time from April to
October 15th, who picked up or destroyed 16751 cockles,
5,715 horseshoe, crabs, and 467 sand collars. We have taken
up 22 bushels of ,starfish, and 5 bushels of conks in Lewis
Bay, Hyannis. I recommend that this work be continued.
Respectfully submitted,
CHESTER S. JONES,
Shellfish Constable.

Report of
THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Hyannis, Mass.,
February 4, 1952.
Fellow Citizens, and other Friends of Barnstable:
The report of the Welfare Agent, Mr.'Levine, follows
this. It is written so well and comprehensively that there is
little need of elaboration. Most of the information legally
permitted for publication can be found there.
I just want to add a note of thanks to all those•working
with me in the Department for their cooperation and assis-
tance throughout the year and also to the other members of
your Board`of Welfare for the ready advice and assistance
on all matters brought before them.
Sincerely yours,
E. THOMAS MURPHY,
Chairman.
216
REPORT OF WELFARE AGENT
January 14, 1952.
To the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare,
Barnstable, Massachusetts.
I submit, herewith,.the report of the Barnstable Board
of Public Welfare for the year ending December 31, 1951.
I believe that this year has been.the most trying of the
patience and ability of our entire,staff that they have had to
cope with in a great many years. The endeavor of certain
groups to bring pressure to bear on our representatives for
more liberalization of our welfare program from both the
Federal and State level has caused many changes in the Gen-
eral Laws. The rules and regulations of bookkeeping proce-
dure goes unnoticed by the general public, but is felt greatly
not only by my staff but every Board of Public Welfare in
the Commonwealth:
In July, General Law 475 was passed granting Old Age
Assistance to persons who are patients in public medical in-
stitutions; also a new regulation allowing indirect payments
to hospitals and doctors with Federal participation in the
payments. This was a very good regulation because it solved
the problem of cases where the recipient failed to pay, the
doctors' and hospital bills rendered to them, even though
they had received the money to pay these bills.
There was also a change in the requirements of eligibil-
ity in our Aid to Dependent Children program. On Septem-
ber 13, 1951,eve received a notice of an increase in the cost of
living affecting all our budgets. This change was made effec-
tive as of October 1, 1951., The increase amounted to 14.27o
over the standards of assistance established September 1,
1947.
217
On November 2, 1951 we received a State Letter regard-
ing a new program of Disability Assistance to the totally dis-
abled. This category went into effect, November 1, 1951.
There is a 7517o State and Federal reimbursement in this
category. The settlement of an applicant has no bearing in
such a case. Place of residence determines the liability for
the remaining 25% .of the cost of aid given.
Chapter 801, of the Acts of 1951, effective January 1,
1951, provides for a number of changes in Old Age Assistance
laws. The five most important changes are as follows:
(1) Provisions to the effect that the Department shall,
from time to time, increase the budgetary requirements to
maintain adequate Standards of Assistance.
(2) Provision for legal minimum rates of $75 plus Lei-
sure Time Activity allowance for persons who live outside
of a family group, and $55 plus Leisure Time.Activity allow-
ance for persons who live in a family group (defined as re-
siding with one or more persons related to the applicant or
recipient by blood or marriage).
(3) An increase of $500 per annum in the statutory ex-
emptions for children.
(4) Provision that the city or town shall have a lien
against the property of any applicant or recipient of Old
Age Assistance, said lien to be filed in the appropriate regis-
try of deeds or registry district of the land court.
(5) A provision eliminating the present requirement
under which the full cost of the $4.00 monthly Leisure Time
Activity item is reimbursed by the Commonwealth.
Regulation No. (2) establishing a new legal minimum
rate of$75 plus Leisure Time Activity allowance for persons
who live out of a family group and $55 plus Leisure Time
Activity allowance for persons who live in a family group.
This one item of the law meant that our entire case load
had to be-screened and budgets refigured. This increase
218
will amount to about $15,000 or $20,000 a year. At the
present time we are being reimbursed by the Federal gov-
ernment 50% of money not in excess of $50, plus $5 per
case; and by the State to the extent of two-thirds of the
non-federal share in a settled case the full amount in a non-
settled case. Whether there will be a change in the amount
of reimbursement from the Federal and State is not known
at this time.
Regulation No. (4) of the law also provides that a city
or town shall have a lien against the property of any appli-
cant or recipient of Old Age Assistance and such a lien shall
be recorded in the registry of deeds, where the aggregate
value of real estate, insurance, cash in the bank or stocks ex-
ceeds $1,500. This part of the law will allow the cities and
towns a chance to recover in some cases and also stop the
transfer of property after being qualified for Old Age Assis-
tance. A condition which we have had no control over in the
past.
Hospital and nursing care increased during the year.
In April the rate at Pondville and Westfield increased to
$52.50 per week. In May the Massachusetts General Hospital
rates went to $14.00 per day; in July the rate at Tewksbury
became $20.17 per week. On October 1, 1951, the law allowed
an increase to $12.00 per diem reimbursement. On December
1, 1951, The Barnstable County Sanatorium increased their.
rate in the Infirmary Section to $42.00 per week. All of these
increases and changes will require additional increases in
our budget for 1952.Besides the program work of the Depart-
ment, we were called upon to supervise the housing survey
for the Civil War Aid Program.This we have tried to do with
the support of a few civic-minded citizens and to them I wish
to express my appreciation for their cooperation in this pro-
gram which, is gradually nearing completion.

Many unforseen expenses occurred at the Home this
year. In February several sections of the water pipes had
to be replaced. One side of the barn roof had to be reshingled.
The underground pipe line from the well to the storage tank
had to be replaced. The electric stove, which was over 9 years
old, had to be replaced to stop the continued cost of repairs.
One section of the furnace broke and the cost of repairing it
was $242.50. Since we were covered by insurance, we were
reimbursed a like amount and the furnace was approved by
the State Boiler Inspector. During the year the Home had
4348 inmate days at an average cost of $2.017 per person. ,
The Annual Inspection was made on August 3, 1951, by Miss
Mary Keegan, Registered Nurse, in accordance with Chapter
121, Section 7 of the General Laws. A very complimentary
letter was received from Mrs.Herma Rowe,District Director,
of the Department of Public•Welfare.

Report of
INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
Gentlemen:
The annual inventory produce& the following results:
196 cows, 2 bulls, 13 heifers, 21 calves, 39 horses, 42 goats,
12 sheep and 187 pigs.
A new rat and mouse poison (Warfarin or,Compound.
42), is now available in stores and at the County Extension
Bureau in Barnstable. This poison appears to be as effective
on rodents as D.D.T. is on insects. I have used it repeatedly
during the last months of 1951 with excellent results. Al-
though this poison is relatively harmless to pets and humans,
caution should be used and directions carefully followed.
There were 56 dog bites reported. The dogs were placed
in quarantine and released under the direction of the State
Animal Disease Control Department.
The State Department of Livestock Disease Control will
vaccinate, free of charge at the time of Tuberculin test, all
calves between the age of four months and breeding age.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT D. CHASE,
Animal Inspector.

Report of
THE BOARD OF HEALTH
The.year 1951 continued to,pose for the Board of Health
the same problems which have been besetting us over. the
past decade-We are growing from a small,sparsely populated
town into a town where the concentration of population in
certain areas approaches the urban. In.addition to this, the.
total number of people has increased.
The -main problem facing, us this year as a project for
present and future need is the matter of running the,dump
with the sanitary fill method, which will cost more money,
both initially and in up-keep. Because of the increased popu-
lation, the inability to burn except on windless days and the
crowding of our present area, the residents adjacent to the
dump presented a petition to the Board of Health on October
6, 1951. A committee was appointed by the,Selectmen, as a
result of a hearing, and the sanitary fill is the method sug-
gested by both this,committee and the Board of Health. The
various villages and service organizations are being given
lectures and pictures on this subject with the hope that the
town meeting may see fit to recommend this technique. It
will do away with objectionable burning, odor, and improve
the appearance of the dumping facilities.
The incidence of communicable diseases is somewhat
lower than the average for the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts. There were seven cases of hepatitis reported this year,
which is somewhat unusual; four cases .were limited to one
family.
Mr. Robert Chase in cooperation with Mr. George
Crocker, Jr. and various State and, County Agencies has
conducted many, many food utensil•and.restaurant examina-
tions. With the cooperation of.the owners,.Mr. Chase has
225
brought the Town of Barnstable's food and eating facilities
up to a high peak of cleanliness. This is nothing more than
the Town should expect and the proprietors of the restau-
rants are to be congratulated for the splendid cooperation
they have given and the results they have so conscientiously
obtained.
Certain changes have been made in the health laws
which are going to increase the cost to the Town,not directly
but indirectly, and probably to a greater extent than ever
before.
Without Mrs. Caskin at the office, the work of both the
Agent and the Board would be rendered nearly impossible.
We are grateful to her, as well as to, all the other Town De-
partments for their excellent assistance.
The following communicable diseases were reported to
the Board of Health:
Chicken pox 15
Measles 11
German measles 11
Mumps 11
Pulmonary tuberculosis 3
Scarlet fever 2
Meningitis 1
There were 56 dog bites reported.
REPORT OF PLUMBING AGENT
This year we have had a slight decrease in the number
of plumbing permits issued.
Although the number of'permits is less,the type of build-
ings constructed,during the past year is better; there.are a
greater number of fixtures per house. We have had none of
the so-called projects as in the past two years.
226
There has been an increase of new building in the Tower
Hill section of Osterville; also some large houses in Oyster
Harbors.
There have been many renovations in the business build-
ings of Hyannis requiring changes in the plumbing systems.
I appreciate the fine co-operation_ of all the other Town
Departments. The plumbers have also been very co-operative.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE E. CHURCHILL,
Plumbing Agent.

MILK AND DAIRY INSPECTION
It is gratifying to note the town still maintains its excel-
lent record of tuberculin tested cattle..No reactors were
found.
The quality of milk was about the same as last year. All
the different kinds of milk and cream examined the past
year were up to State Standard.
A new milk regulation was adopted this year which
specifically states that no pasteurized milk shall contain
more than 3 coliform organisms per cubic centimeter; coli-
form tests on all water supplies are now being done. Health
authorities are attaching more significance. to these coliform
organisms than in the past.
The bacteriological examination of utensils from various
hotels, restaurants, barrooms, etc., showed an improvement..
From February 26th to May 19th I was at the University
of Massachusetts on a 12 weeks' course in Sanitation.; new,
laboratory methods were taken up.

REPORT OF DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION
To the Barnstable Board of Health:
The work of the District Nursing Association in the
Town of Barnstable has been carried on during 1951 in much
the same manner as in previous years.
Bedside nursing and visits for Health Supervision are
our two largest items..Our total number of visits for this
service in this town during the past year is 3,533.
We have continued our monthly Well-child conferences
where. a physician specially trained in the care and feeding
of children advises and helps young mothers with their
every day problems. We also have had our annual Eye clinic
for the school children. This was held at the Cape Cod Hospi-
tal with Dr. Karl Reimer the examining physician. Other
available clinics in the town are the Chest clinic held once a
month at the Cape Cod Hospital by the County Sanatorium
and the Crippled Children's clinic, also held at the Cape Cod
Hospital under the supervision of the DIa.ssachusetts Depart-
ment of Public Health.

Report of
BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH
DEPARTMENT
For the Year Ending December 31, 1951
Twenty-five years have passed since the establishment
of this Department. Chapter 133 of the Acts of 1926 (amend-
ed by Chapter 193 of the Acts of 1928) provided in effect for
the appointment by the County Commissioners of a County
Health Officer and such assistants as were deemed necessary.
It provided further that the Health Officer would serve as
agent of the Town Boards of Health, on appointment by
them, as well as school physician on request of the School
Committees in the various towns of the County.
The problems and concepts in the field of Public Health
have obviously changed during these twenty-five years.
Diseases due to unsanitary conditions have been brought
under such control that today in this county, they have be-
come practically non-existent. Cases of preventable acute
communicable diseases no longer are reported, illness and
death caused by tuberculosis have been markedly reduced,
maternal and infant morbidity and mortality are at a low
level. Largely due to the effects of those changes, the span
of life has increased in length, a larger proportion of our
people are found in the older age groups, and such condi-
tions as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and others become
Public Health problems of greater moment. It seems reason-
able, therefore, to state that immediate measures for the im-
provement of the health of the people of this county are not
those concerned with the passage of Laws and Regulations
designed for the protection of all people in the community.
The need is rather for the education of the people to take
231
individual action for the improvement of their own health. ,
In no small respect, the control of some of the largely non-
preventable chronic diseases noted abode, is concerned with
early diagnosis and,early treatment.,
The need for more and better trained personnel to carry
out Public Health activities is always pressing. During the
last year, this county has been selected as one rural area for
the field training of persons who are completing academic
training at the University level. This program, sponsored
by the Mass. Department of Public Health is being largely
financed by the Kellog.Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan.
A well-trained 'Public Health Nurse has been assigned to
develop the program for nurses in this area. The continual
on the job training of personnel already working in this
County is an important part of the program. Last spring, a
series of ten classes for nurses was held in Hyannis and
attended by all of the nurses serving the towns of the county.
Scholarships have been obtained for two of these nurses,
both of whom have attended the Simmons school of Nurses
in Boston.
Mr. George Crocker, Sanitary Inspector with this De-
partment, attended a three months' refresher course at the
University of Massachusetts last winter.
During the fall, we participated actively in the Univer-
sity Extension Courses on Health Education attended by
over forty of the school teachers, of the county.
Routine activities of the Department were carried on
during the year at about the same level as of previous years.
Under the training program, we were able to use the services
of two additional sanitary inspectors during the summer
months.
Our dental program in the schools has been augmented
by the addition to our staff of another Dental Hygienist
assigned here by the United States Public Health- Service.
232
We have been active in promoting.discussion-.of water fluor-
idation of the public water supplies in the County.

Report of
BARNSTABLE HOUSING AUTHORITY
Town Office Building
Hyannis, Mass.,
January 31, 1952.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
The Barnstable Rousing Authority continued its activi-
ties during the year 1951, operating the permanent.project
(consisting of forty single family dwelling units on Bearse's
Way) in addition to its management of the Airport Housing
Project, so called.
During the year 1951 several changes took place in the
membership of the Authority and its managers. The term of
Daniel J. Fern as a member expired, and E. Joslin Whitney
was elected in his place as Chairman of the Authority. The
members of the Authority wish to take this opportunity to
express their appreciation for the time and effort given by
Mr. Fern to the Barnstable, Housing Authority.
George C. Campbell resigned as a member, having been
recalled into the armed services. Norman C. Nagle resigned
as Executive Director, and John Drew resigned as manager
of the Airport Housing Project.
During the year,twenty Quonset huts located in the Air-
port Housing Project, along with some miscellaneous equip-
ment, were put up for bid. The Authority realized approxi-
mately $2,000.00 on these sales. At the end of the year the
Authority turned over to the Town of Barnstable $2,500.00
from the operation of the Airport Project.
The permanent project on Bearse's Way is nearly com-
23-a
pleted and has now gone into permanent financing.Long term
bonds have been issued by the Authority in the aggregate
amount of'$372,000.00. These bonds will be amortized by the
Authority from the income received from the permanent pro-
ject over a period of forty years.
As of this date there are no vacancies in either of the
housing projects.

Report of
SEWER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
We respectfully submit the following report pertaining
to the Sewer Department.
The ,pumping station has functioned in the past year
without serious trouble. One pump unit had to be replaced
and the removed unit was completely rebuilt with new parts
installed in place of the defective and worn out units.
Six of the eight sewer beds have been reconditioned and
are in excellent condition. In the process of excavating for
material to use in reconditioning, a new bed, approximately
in size to two of the present beds is now about ninety percent
completed. Your commission, realizing that the volume of
sewerage is increasing each year, recommends an appropria-
tion be raised to complete this bed and recondition the re-
maining two.
An estimated 99,500,000 gallons of sewerage was pumped
through to the beds in 1951, about 500,000 gallons more than
the previous year, according to the report of Superintendent
Air. Ruben Anderson.
Twelve new connections to the town,sewer system have
been added in the year 1951.

Report of
THE BARNSTABLE PLAYGROUND
AND 'RECREATION COMMISSION
At the annual town meeting of 1951, the sum of $15,000
was appropriated for a recreational program in the Town of
Barnstable. Recreation programs are being conducted under
this Commission for villages of the entire town and also in
individual villages where facilities are available. Through
its entire program, the Commission is endeavoring to serve
all age groups in the Town of Barnstable.
Last winter the Commission again sponsored the men's
volley ball league at the American Legion Home in Hyannis
with the following teams participating: Centerville, Hyannis
Fire Department, K. of C., Maritime Academy, National
Guard, Ostervilley Puritan Clothing, Shamrocks, Telephone .
Company, and Buzzards Bay Gas Company. A basketball
league for men was conducted at the High School each Sun-
day in which the following teams were represented: Cotuit,
DeMolay, 'National Guard, Osterville, Telephone Company,
and Townies-Shark City combination. Three other basket-
ball leagues,in which the younger group joined, were offered
weekly at the American. Legion Home. Six junior boys'
teams represented Centerville, Federated Church, K. of C.,
Osterville, St. George and the Wildcats. The Senior boys
competed in their league for the Osterville Hoboes, Barn-
stable, DeMolay, Hi-Y, K. of C., Osterville. In the league for
girls under .18, teams represented Osterville, Federated
Church, Barnstable, and the Baptist Church:
Children and adults from all seven villages took advan-
tage of the expanding Arts &' Crafts program where they
learned the techniques of oil painting, decorating, portrait
238
painting, novelty woodworking, jewelry making, and paint-
ing of household articles.
In the spring of 1951, the baseball league for boys in the
town under 18 had teams.representing Centerville, Hyannis,
Osterville, and West Barnstable. This year teams from Cotuit
and Hyannis entered the Cape Cod Baseball League with the
assistance and cooperation of the Commission.
In June the learn-to-swim program,carried on by trained
water safety instructors throughout the summer, opened
with swimming and life saving instruction, and special wa-
terfront programs and races were added attractions at the
following beaches: Hathaway's Pond, Barnstable; Ropes'
Beach, Cotuit; Craigville Beach Association,, Craigville;
Kalmus Park, Hyannis; Veteran's Memorial Park Beach,
Hyannis; Town Landing Beach, Hyannis; Mystic Lake and
Run Pond, Marstons Mills; Joshua's Pond,'Osterville; Gar-
rett's Pond, West Barnstable. Our program of instruction
attracted more than twice the number of people reached in
the summer of 1950.
Again this summer, outdoor painting classes were held
for people from the villages of the town. The artists painted
scenes at Brewster, Sandwich, Lewis Bay, Barnstable Vil-
lagey and West Barnstable. Craft classes were also held at
the center during the summer months. ,
In the late fall, a ping pong tournament was.inaugu-
rated in the Osterville'Community Center with teams enter-
ing from the Hobnobs, Federated Church, Compass Club,
Leen's, Osterville, and Standard-Times.
The facilities and programs listed on the following pages
supplement, at each of the villages in the town, the varied
activities previously mentioned.
BARNSTABLE: The Woman's Club, through the Rec-
reation Commission, offered a program of basketball; games,
movies, dances_ and instruction, ping pong, roller skating,
239
and special parties. Under a special appropriation, backstops
for a softball, field and a hard ball field were set up at the
new playground after the field had been levelled. A retain-
ing wall was built at the field and equipment was purchased.
CENTERVILLE: Centerville made use. of the Arts &
Crafts Center in Hyannis and used the Osterville Center for
basketball practice. Baseball league games were played in
Centerville in the rear of the school.
COTUIT: Basketball, ping pong, quiet games, and spe-
cial parties, in addition to dances and square dance instruc-
tion, were conducted in Freedom Hall.
HYANNIS: In June, 1951, the' Arts & Crafts Center
moved to the "Little White School" on South Street. This
new center has five rooms and a basement, one room for
meetings, one room for an office; the other rooms are used
for arts & crafts and portrait painting. A new furnace was
installed and lighting facilities were improved. Since the
new center has been in use, participation has doubled with
children and adults from all parts of the town joining in the
numerous activities offered. Special recreational,groups use
the center for meetings, the Power.Squadron holds weekly
meetings here, and a teen-age orchestra uses the rooms for
practice. .
MARSTONS MILLS: The Athletic Association has been
very active in this village and, with the assistance of the
Commission, helped plan and run,the programs. of square
dancing,and social activities for children and adults.at the
village parish hall. The Association, with the aid of the Com-
mission, started a Junior Baseball League for boys up to
twelve years of age.
OSTERVILLE: The Osterville Community Center had
a well-rounded program for the children including basket-
ball, ping pong, checkers, dominoes,"and'square dance in-
struction. The building is used by civic groups who conduct
meetings and assist in the program.-The Garden Club has
240
5
furnished curtains, a clock, tables, window boxes, and shrub-
bery which they planted during the summer.
WEST BARNSTABLE: The Commission cooperates
with the West Barnstable Improvement Association in con-
ducting dances and special parties, and in providing facili-
ties and equipment for ping pong at the Community Building.
KALMUS PARK: The Commission feels that it is time
the Town start a definite program for the development of
Kalmus Park. With that in mind, the Commission has pro-
ceeded to erect a comfort station at the Park, and we have
had drawn up a plan for the proposed improvement of the
area. This is the plan which was on public display for sev-
eral weeks.

Report of
BARNSTABLE AIRPORT COMMIS-
SION AND AIRPORT MANAGER
With no substantial expenditures for maintenance work
on the runways, field or other facilities, your airport operat-
ing cost in 1951 was down considerably over the preceding
year, and also below the five year average cost.
For the 1952 town meeting, your commission is again
submitting to citizens an article to initiate the much needed
improvement of moving landing facilities and administra-
tion building from the present location on Mary Dunn Road
to the more practical site at the Traffic Circle, where Routes
28, 132, and Barnstable Road meet.
For this improvement, it is requested that the town con-
tribute $70,00.0, conditional on appropriation of $50,000 by
the Commonwealth, and $100,000 by the Federal govern-
ment. In short,the town would pay less than one-third of the
overall cost of the improvement. The Commission also rec-
ommends that the town raise but $10,000 of the necessary
sum this year, and borrow the remainder, to be repaid over
a ten year, or perhaps shorter period.
Your commission feels that an annual expenditure of
less than$10,000 in a permanent improvement of this nature
is warranted by the air traffic our municipal airport handles,
by the convenience to the public, by the safety factor, and
by the more efficient operation this project will insure.
From a technical operating and safety standpoint, this
relocation of facilities has been recommended by the Civil
Aeronautics Administration ever since the runways were
surfaced and extended some dozen years ago. The project is
243
completely contingent on approval of the C.A.A. and Massa-
chusetts Aeronautics Commission.
Your commission is pleased to report to the town that
the Federal government approved, and Congress voted, the
sum of $45,135 to cover damages to the airport due to mili-
tary use during the. war. Some part of this sum will, when
paid, go directly into the town treasury to defray expendi-
tures already made, and the remainder will be expended on
specific repair projects.
Your commission held thirteen regular and special meet-
ings during 1951; it frequently inspected the airport facili-
ties; it inspected similar_installations on Martha's Vineyard
and Nantucket; it held many conferences with Federal and
state aviation officials; and altogether it has endeavored to
manage our airport in.the business-like manner this impor-
tant air transportation facility merits.
Appended is our manager's report of operations.

BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT MANAGER'S
REPORT FOR 1951—HVANNIS AIRPORT.
27,752 passengers arrived or departed by air from the
airport during the year. The increase over 1950 amounted to
245 passengers, which does not amount to a material gain;
however, the answer lies in the fact that Northeast Airlines
disposed of three Douglas DC-4 60 passenger aircraft early
244
in the fall of 1950 and did not replace.them, so that passenger
seats available to the Cape trade were reduced substantially
during 1951, which accounts for the loss.
Northeast Airlines, the only certified scheduled air car-
rier operating at Hyannis Airport, carried a total of 17,901
passengers, of which 9,025 enplaned and 8,876 deplaned. The
peak schedules for the airline were during the months of
June, July, August and September and `amounted to 11
flights per day to Boston and New York, with the winter -
low at 2 flights per day. Every flight carries airmail, air ex-
press and freight.
Itinerant, private and commercial aircraft using the
airport and facilities totaled 1,972, of which 389 were multi-
engine executive type aircraft and 1,583 were single-engine
smaller planes. Passengers arriving and departing in these
planes totaled 8,317.
Cape and Island Airways, the airport non-scheduled
flight operator, carried 1,534 passengers,I transported 678,-
286 pounds of newspapers and freight and flew 28,280 charter
miles.
No major improvements were made to the airport, build-
ings or grounds during the year.
With the approval of the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
tion, the management was successful in disposing of just
about the last lot of surplus,government property which was
of no value to the airport. A major transfer was the disman-
tling and removal of a large boiler, stoker, steel stack and
breeching. This assembly.was acquired, without cost, by the
Army Corps of Engineers at Camp Edwards. State regula-
tions are such that this equipment could be used by only a
Federal agency.
Minor improvements to the administration building in-
eluded a new outside door opening from the Northeast Air-
lines office onto the landing area, and a new interior door
245
to the men's lavatory which was formerly reached only by
going outside the building.
A new project of painting regulation air markings on
all runways was completed during the year. This decided aid
to navigation is being appreciated by all pilots using the
Airport.

Report of
TOWN LIBRARY COMMITTEE
After considering the urgent needs of the Hyannis Li-
brary the town committee this year voted to change the divi-
sion of the town appropriation of $7,500 to the following:
Hyannis, $2,600; Barnstable, Cotuit, Centerville and Oster-
ville, each $950; Marstons Mills and West Barnstable, each
$550.
At the 1952 town meeting the library committee is ask-
ing the town to increase the appropriation to $10,000, a sum
still less than a good many towns of Barnstable's population
and valuation expend on public libraries, though few have
as many libraries serving their people.
All of the town fund was used this year for books and
maintenance, and none of it for salaries. The committee has
had several meetings to discuss library problems, sharing of
books, and other means of improving library service.
The committee deeply regrets the passing of one of its
faithful members during the year, Miss Ann L. Jenkins, of
West Barnstable.

Report of
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS'
SERVICES
District Board, consisting of Chairmen of Selectmen of
three towns in District as follows: Mr. Adams, Barnstable;
Mr. Taylor, Yarmouth, and Mr. Nickerson, Dennis.
As the name of the department implies, we primarily
give service to veterans of all wars residing in Barnstable,
Yarmouth and Dennis by supplying information and execut-
ing government forms as needed including notarization at
no charge in reply to their questions about education, loans,
job training, housing, compensation, pensions, insurance,
hospital and domiciliary care, burials, grave markers and
death claims.
The same group of advisors in community work men-
tioned in last year's report continue to give their unpaid
assistance to individual cases as requested and needed.
Through our usual office routine we ourselves have
assisted many Spanish War veterans to clarify their status
of eligibility for identification card.-. entitling them to Hos-
pitalization and Outpatient treatment (a new service passed
by Congress last Spring).
For World War I men we have put considerable time on
non-service pensions and hospitalization, which seems to be
appreciated by them for results obtained.
World War II veterans' problems have been mostly on
service-connected compensation, loans, education and insur-
ance and satisfactory results have also been noted for this

The services of Mr. Ezra J. Swift, the V. A. Contact
Officer representing the Providence Regional Office, is
thankfully still available to all Cape. veterans in this office
from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the first and third Thursdays of
each month and it is understood he will continue to be pres-
ent (this being one of the very last "on call" points listed to
be eliminated at some distant future time, as per personal
contact with the Providence Regional Manager).

Director.
Our secondary purpose, also a service, but done with
funds under a different name, is handled for each town indi-
vidually and was from Civil War days up to World War II
more aptly called "Soldiers' Relief," but now titled by our
legislature as,
VETERANS' BENEFITS '
Local Board: Selectmen Victor F. Adams, George L.
Cross and E. Thomas Murphy.
Acting under,State Laws, which is closely supervised by
Commissioner Richard F. Tobin, worthy veterans and their
dependents, including parents in some instances, are given
financial aid and assistance according to their needs within
the budgets.suggested by the State Department of Veterans'
Services.
All recommendations of the local agent are office
checked by the Commissioner's agent known as an Author-
izer and are further investigated at home of each applicant
by Mr. Philip E. Carey, known as a State Investigator. All
are cooperative in the handling of the various cases brought
to our attention either by the Selectmen or the veterans
themselves.
To make application for aid is quite simple but strict,
first requirement being presentation of Honorable Discharge
or photo-copy of same from one of the Armed Services during
249
war time, being at present time worthy to the extent of not
being on probation or under order from any court or addicted
to voluntary idleness or intemperate habits. Need is then
shown from facts given upon application forms available in
this office and completed with our help.
While the description of this portion of our services
might sound brief, it does take a large part of our time due
to unemployment and sicknesses of veteran and his depend-
ents plus the call of reservists and induction of new men into
the Armed Services under conditions known now as the
"Korean Situation", whose wives and children can and do
apply for State assistance called War Allowance payable by
us after approval by State Department until receipt of Gov-
ernment Allotment by said applicants.
Once again we would like to ask all World War II vet-
erans not to delay any longer about having discharge Photo-
statted no charge at Barnstable Court House, if not already
done so, not only as a protection for veteran himself but as a
possible future service to his dependents.
In closing may I also again quote part of lettering on our

REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
To the Board of Selectmen:
I submit herewith the report of the Town Counsel for
the year 1951.
During the April term of the Superior Court one land
damage case involving the widening of Yarmouth Road was
tried and disposed of by the, jury awarding the sum of
$554.47. This case was brought against the County but inso-
far as land damages are concerned the Town is required to
make reimbursement on all land damage cases for County
road alterations and Nvidenings within the Town. We find,
therefore, that in this case, and in all similar cases against
the County, the Town ultimately pays the bill and has a real
interest in the trial or settlement of such cases. One other
land damage case brought directly against the Town was
settled by agreement for the sum of $338.00. Another land
damage case has been recently brought against the Town as
a result of the taking of land at Wequaquet Lake for park
purposes under Article 94 of the last Annual Town Meeting.
The action referred to in my last report as pending in the
Norfolk County Superior Court was settled for the sum of
$230.00. Other actions referred to in the same report con-
tinue to remain inactive.
The Town continues to bring suit for recovery of wel-
fare aid and old age assistance. payments against the estates
of deceased persons. The amounts so recovered will appear
elsewhere in the Town Report. The new lien laws effective on
January 1 of this year may have the effect of reducing such
actions. What is of more importance is the fact that these
laws may result in the assumption on the part of some per-
sons of greater responsibility in the family for the support of
251
its own members in place of the present day concept of de-
pendency on government, that is, the taxpayer.
The action authorized by the vote of last year to acquire
a large tract of land at Sandy Neck by lease eventually re-
sulting in ownership by the Town failed of accomplishment.
It became necessary for certain title defects to be cleared
through the Land Court before the necessary documents
could be drawn and executed. During this period one of the
two owners died. While the survivor expressed a willingness
and desire to carry out any reasonable plan to accomplish
the desires,of the Town, no agreement satisfactory to the
Selectmen could be made with the new owner of the other
interest. An article recommending purchase or taking by
eminent domain is in the warrant for this year's meeting.
Favorable action is recommended.
It was voted last year to accept as a gift from the Cape
Cod Horticultural Society a tract of land in Osterville. Ex-
tremely complicated restrictions and conditions have pre-
vented such acceptance. It is hoped that these can be cleared,
but if this can be done some considerable period of time will
be required to accomplish this.
The Town's By-Laws will have to be edited, compiled
and.published during the coining year. The last edition was
printed in 1948 and there are now some twenty-three addi-
tional pages containing amendments and additions to those
existing in 1948.
As in other years no effort is made to set forth in detail
the handling of the usual legal affairs of the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
KENNETH E. WILSON,
Town Counsel.

Report of
THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
At the Annual Town Meeting the sum of $10,320.00 was
appropriated for the Park Commission.
Of this sum a new truck was purchased for $1,404.00
which was the lowest of several bids received from local
dealers.
We are continuing.our policy of improving as well as
maintaining the various parks and playgrounds in the town
and with the exception of two areas we anticipate no large
expenditures for improvements and probably with the begin-
ning of 1953 our problems will be wholly maintenance.
On the following pages by villages and parks is set
forth the various improvements made during the past year
and recommendations for the future.
HYANNIS
Ridgewood Park
A new slide was purchased and installed this spring
and has been used and enjoyed by the children in this
vicinity.
Ralph P. Bismore Park (Ocean Street)
Five new finger piers were completed in time for use
this summer.
New rules governing the use of the bulkhead were put
into effect this year. A docking charge was made to com-
mercial and visiting boats which as a result produced a
revenue of $915.00 to the town.
The lighting system was completed and operated very
effectively.
253
The old blue stone walks were loamed and grassed over
and a new paved walk 600 feet long was constructed.
A new sign was placed in this park.
This is one of the two areas where in the near future a
sum will have to be spent to repair the bulkhead which is
slowly slipping into the harbor.
Veterans' Memorial Park (Lewis Bay)
A lifeguard and swimming instructor was employed and
on duty six days a week.
In cooperation with the Playground and Recreation
Commission a program of swimming and life saving instruc-
tion was conducted for the children of the town.
Due to the increased use of this area a comfort station is
needed and we have placed an article in the warrant to this
effect.
Park Square
We constructed 340 feet of concrete curbing, which
replaced the old field stones, and,a paved sidewalk along
Main Street.
Hyannisport Park
This area is under lease to the Hyannisport Civic Asso-
ciation.
CENTERVILLE
Memorial, Park
Some of the area in this park was loamed and newly
seeded.
Soldiers' Memorial Park
The new walk which was built last year will be paved
this year and the flag pole has been painted.
Chester Park
A water connection was installed here.
254
Wequaquet Lake
This area has been brushed out and cleared up.
OSTERVILLE
Memorial Park
The walk that we built last year has been paved.
The grass plot at the junction of Main Street and Parker
Road has'been maintained by this department. The flag pole was painted and the area newly seeded.
MARSTONS MILLS
Although there are no parks here, we are continuing
the care of the grass plot where the.new stone with the Me-
morial Plaque to World War II veterans stands.
COTUIT
Memorial Park
T-%vo War Memorial Boulders were placed in this park
by the citizens of Cotuit and dedicated at a ceremony this
summer.
A new flag pole and sign were installed this year.
We intend to pave the walks in this park this spring.
Elizabeth Lowell Park
An additional area of the ball field was seeded.
The grandstand was extended along third base giving
a seating capacity of about 350.
There is still a considerable area in this park to be
loamed and seeded.
Lovell's Pond
This area was purchased by the town to make available
to the residents of Santuit a beach and bathing facilities.
The underbrush and dead trees have been removed.
255
An area will be marked off for swimming this summer.
WEST BARNSTABLE
Crocker Park
An effort was made this year to have the Public Works
Department make this park accessible to the new highway
for foot traffic only. Our efforts were unsuccessful.
Sandy Neck
We still have the strip of land believed to be 40 feet wide
running to the beach.
West Barnstable Ball Field
This field was turned over to the Park Commission for
care and maintenance at the last Town Meeting.
John Jenkins Forestry and Wild Life Reservation
This land was acquired by the Town at the last annual
meeting and turned over to the Park Commission.

JOIN JENKINS WILDLIFE RESERVATION
John Jenkins, 26 years old, left England in 1635. Arrived
at Plymoutb, he bought from Anthony Snow a house and
land at Hobbs Hole, bordered by Wellingsley Brook. Ten
years later he moved across Cape Cod Bay and received a
grant of land in Eastham. Five years later he moved on
again to Barnstable. Here he settled down contented. And
here descendants have spent contented lives through many
generations. Those of this generation have asked that "six
acres more or less" of his original grant bear his name.
The field has never been built on. It was first farm, then
pasture. Twenty-five years ago the woman who owned it
sold its stonewalls so it could no longer be a pasture. In
these twenty=five years a jungle of horsebriar and wild
grapevines stifled an interesting variety of native plants,
shrubs, and trees. During the past year paths have been cut
through this jungle. Fine maples, two certainly in their
second century, tupelos, oaks, pines, hollies, wild apple and
pear trees have come to light with inkberry, sweetbriar and
wild roses,black alder, swamp azalea, sweet pepper and blue-
berry bushes, trailing evergreens and partridge berry, Jacks-
in-the-pulpit, meadow rue, jewel weed, turtlehead, cardinal
flower, two rare varieties—the green fringed orchid and the
grape fern—and many varieties of ferns and the more com-
mon plants. Skunk cabbage is rampant, for the soil varies,
from its highest point at the roadside where it is sandy, to
bog at the back with all manner of soil conditions between.
Flowering dogwoods, young beeches, white birch, mountain
laurel, Norway and red swamp maple—for fall color by the
roadside have been introduced with trillium, pyrola and
pippsissewa. Strangely arbutus, ladyslippers, checkerberry,
bearberry and sweet fern which are common in woods near-
by have not been found. We plan to transplant these and
other native plants and shrubs in the spring.Feeding stations
for the birds have been provided, made by the carpentry
class of the Barnstable Trade School. Nesting houses are
25'7
planned, and rough seats. We hope that High School forestry
and botany classes will later find field trips to the Reserva-
tion interesting and of profit.
In his annual report last year to the Trustees of Public
Reservation Mr. Fletcher Steele said, "In quiet backwaters
here and there are small places of natural beauty which ap-
peal particularly to mature and sensitive individuals -%vho
have learned to stroll instead of tramp and to observe what
lies-along the way,who are content to sit in the shade rather
than lie half naked in the sun, who pause and chuckle at the
absurd chipmunk and `yonder where Mrs. Chipmunk and the
children hide." We hope to make this Wildlife Reservation
just such a place. We are working slowly, careful that noth-
ing be uprooted that should be encouraged. "Striving to
better, oft we mar what's well." Though paths are rough
and poison ivy, valiantly tackled, is not yet conquered, we
hope those who venture in heavy old shoes and stout stock-
ings will be glad of the beauty that is here and in their
mind's eye will picture beauty that will be here when time,
patience, and imagination have had their way.
Mr. Fletcher, Secretary of the Trustees of Public Reser-
vations, and Judge Walcott, President of the Massachusetts
Audubon Society, have made an informal visit and expressed
approval. They urged us to list the trees, shrubs, and plants
and to make a census of the birds, particularly in the spring
and fall migrations.

Report of
COMMITTEE ON PARKING
To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:
By vote of Special Town Meeting of the Town of Barn-
stable held on May 21, 1951, the following were appointed a
committee to study the matter of a parking place in the
West End Section of Hyannis and to report at the nest an- .
nual Town Meeting:
Daniel J. Fern, Chairman
E. Joslin Whitney
George H. Mellen,Jr.
Carl Salo
John J. Pendergast
Following our appointment, meetings of the committee
were held and various tracts of land in the West End section
of Hyannis were studied for the purpose of making a suit-
able report and recommendation to the Town. It was noted
that although several tracts of land were available on North
Street, few had direct and reasonable access to Main Street
in locations which would be suitable for the public conven-
ience. It was also noted that there have recently sprung up a,
number of small private parking places, each with signs of
varying sizes, shapes and colors, and which, in the opinion
of this committee, reflect unfavorably upon the village.
It is the opinion of this committee that the West End
section of the village of Hyannis is particularly in need of a
parking area, properly located, which would be of such size
as to provide for reasonable future growth. Such a tract of
land is available in a desirable location.
Meetings were held with the owner of such tract of land
and while he was reluctant to agree upon a sale, he finally
260
stated he would be agreeable to sell for the sum of $25,000.
This tract of land is now substantially graded and cleared,
and has a number of suitable drainage facilities. It is also
substantially fenced and has facilities for lighting available,
in addition to the fact that it leads out to Main Street and
would be accessible to the public at a central location.
After considerable negotiations the owner was prevailed
upon to accept a recommendation of this committee that the
price for the land be $18,000. The tract of land will accom-
modate approximately 200 motor vehicles and should pro-
vide ample facilities for reasonable growth for a number of
years ahead. The price of this land compares favorably with
the cost and size of a tract previously purchased for the West
End section of this village.
The undersigned members of the Committee have ap-
pended hereto two articles for insertion in the Warrant
for the next annual Town Meeting and recommend their
adoption.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Former Selectman
CHESTER A. CROCKER
On His Visit to Barnstaple, Devon, England
To the Board of Selectmen, and Citizens of the
Town of Barnstable,
The late summer and autumn .of 1951 will mark a high
point in my life. I had for many years secretly nursed an
ambition and a hope that I might some day be able to visit
England, but had long since abandoned the idea as an im-
possible dream because in the words of Thomas Gray, "chill
penury suppressed the noble rage and froze the genial cur-
rent of the soul", but last summer the Selectmen informed
me that. they had received an urgent invitation from Barn-
staple, England to return the visit of former Mayor Dart
to our town in 1939. They told me as it was impossible for
either of them to go, it was their desire that I do so and
represent them and the town, and at a special town meet-
ing called and held in the high school auditorium May 21st
for several important purposes there was an article in the
warrant proposing that I be sent to Barnstaple and $1500
be appropriated to defray my Expenses. To my amaze-
ment this proposal was acted upon favorably, by a large
assembly of voters, without a single dissent.
I went on my mission and did the best I could to repre-
sent the town in such a manner as I believe the townspeople
wished me to, and hope I succeeded as well as could be rea-
sonably expected of me.
I landed at Liverpool on August 25th and was greeted
on shipboard by Mayor Sanders and Town Clerk Mr. Broad
who with their wives had made the long journey from Barn-
staple via railroad the day before.
`'G2
I learned that a great deal of time and thought had
been devoted by Barnstaple town officials and many other
citizens to the matter of my entertainment while in Eng-
land. They told me of all their recommendations which I
followed exactly and subsequent events proved it was no
mistake.
They stayed with me that day and evening at the
Adelphia Hotel and next day departed for home while I,
acting upon their advice, took a seven day bus tour through
Scotland which to me proved both delightful and educa-
tional.
Upon returning to Liverpool and staying there over
Sunday I again followed their advice and took an express
train to London, about as far as from Barnstable to New
York. I stayed about ten days in London including a trip
to Canterbury about fifty miles south.
I was most royally entertained while in London by the
"Barumites" who are Barnstaple people who reside and
make their living in London which is 250 miles from their
old home town. When they were told that a visitor from
Barnstable, Massachusetts was coming they made careful
arrangements for his entertainment while he was in Lon-
don. To say they did a good job of it is to put it, mildly
indeed.
To adequately relate my experience and tell of the
countless things of interest I saw in that enormous ancient
city would require half the pages in this book so I cannot
attempt it here.
I arrived in Barnstaple on a very fast express train
two days prior to their annual fair. I was met at the sta-
tion by Mayor Sanders and Town Clerk Mr. Broad and
taken at once to the home of former Mayor Dart where I
stayed for several days. He and Mrs. Dart treated me like
old friends which indeed we were. While in Barnstaple for
about three weeks I was entertained in private homes by
263
various people for several days at a time. These people
included Mayor Sanders and the Mayoress, Town Clerk
Broad and Mrs. Broad, Councilman Thomas and Mrs.
Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brenan who own a world
famous pottery in Barnstaple.
Without any fuss whatever I was treated like one of
the family and I surely had a grand time. I met and was
entertained by people in all walks of life, farmers, mechan-
ics, factory foreman and workers, marketmen and .many
others including one Earl and one Lord.
i I attended of course and took part in the colorful cere-
monies at the opening 'of their annual fair with all its
pageantry and ancient customs.
It was here at this ceremony in the Guild Hall that I
presented the silver plate that the town sent by me on
which is delineated the old West Barnstable Church and
where I received their present of the oaken casket which
I brought home with me and delivered to the Selectmen
at the Town Office where it may be seen by anyone upon
request.
Later at appropriate tames I delivered the other pres-
ents sent by me including a fine banner from the Hyannis
Rotary Club to the Town of Barnstaple Rotary Club who
in turn presented me with a huge pewter charger made by
a Barnstaple pewterer about 1650. I took this home and
presented it to the Hyannis Rotary Club.
When I asked the original purpose of this huge platter
they told me it was the some sort of dish upon which
Salome served the head of John the Baptist to Herod, but
they said if any of the Hyannis Rotarians were real sports-
men it would be useful to serve a roast boar's head on at
some of their midday lunches.
There was a silver table set to our old friend former
Mayor Dart, and to the Corporation of Barnstaple a pot-
264
tery vase made-by Mr. Morris of Pleasant Street, Hyannis
with a similar one to Mayor Sanders, also a fine large paint-
ting of the old Crocker,Tavern in the village of Barnstable,
painted and donated by Mr. Alexander Crane of that vil-
lage. This painting will be framed by Mr. Dart and will
hang in the large Atheneum in Barnstaple. The silver plate
was made by'the artist Mr. Sweetman of West Barnstable.
Besides .numerous presents given to me personally by
various kind people, the Long Bridge Trustees gave to me
for the Selectmen a gavel and block made from an ,oak pile
sunk in the bed of the Taw River some six centuries ago.
This wood is perfectly preserved, and I was told by the
man who made it that the wood was so hard that only
metal working tools could cut it. Perhaps the Selectmen
will use it at some of their hearings where they may have
difficulty in maintaining order.
The people over there seemed greatly interested and as .
delighted as I was by this friendly exchange of presents.
While I was in Barnstaple several people took me in
their cars pretty much all over Devonshire County and
Cornwell as well as into Somerset County.
The ceremonies at the opening of the fair were in part
recorded by the British Broadcasting Corp. of London
whose people- came down to Barnstaple for the purpose.
It was later broadcast over England. I did not happen to
hear it at the time. but I did while on shipboard in mid-
Atlantic on the way home when they were attempting to
relay it to America. I never heard that they succeeded in
this, but they have promised,me a copy of this recording
and I except the town will receive it soon, it can than prob-
ably be re-broadcast from our local station.
It was a most unique experience to hear myself speak
from England ex post facto in mid ocean 1500 miles away. '
I am glad to have the opportunity to express through
265
this medium my gratitude and deep appreciation of the .
confidence reposed in, and the great generosity extended
to me by the citizens of my town `who made it possible
for me to make this wonderful journey to the old country.

Report of
THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
To the Board of Selectmen:
The following report gives a brief outline of the many
duties performed by this department during the past year.
To enumerate each project and the scope thereof would
exceed the purpose of the report.
In addition to surveys, calculations and plans as
ordered in laying out, altering and defining highways for
acceptance by the Town, the department has been engaged
in the survey, calculation and preparing for bids of three
parking lots. Also we are constantly transferring informa-
tion from plans, filed in the Registry of Deeds, to the mas-
ter sheets of the Town.
The requests for the services of this department by the
Highway Department is constantly increasing. Work also
has been done for the School, Sewer and Police Depart-
ments. During the past year the department started work
on definitely establishing the precinct lines on the ground.
Defining street lilies where grading and construction
is in progress is frequent. Assigning house numbers neces-
sitates field work in most cases.
In addition to definite work ahead, the peronnel is con-
stantly giving out information to all inquirers, in the office,
and over the phone. The requirements of this department
are bound to increase with the growth of the Town. From
1927 when the department was set up, under the Planning
Board, to 1950, the assessed valuation has increased 8717e.
While the cost of operation of other departments has risen
tremendously the cost of this department has risen but 15%.
267
During the fifteen years between 1927 and 1942, when
the Selectmen took over the supervision of the depart-
ment, the-Town spent $16,000. for surveying in addition to
the cost of operation. Except in a few special cases all extra
cost has been stopped.
Respectfully submitted,
LESLIE F. R-OGERS,
Town Engineer.

RESIGNATION
Lieutenant-Colonel Carl A. Fraser
Lieutenant-Colonel Carl A. Fraser, Commanding Officer
of the 685th AAA Gun Battalion, United States Army, re-
signed from the Barnstable School Committee on Decem-
ber 31, 1951 when his unit was transferred to Fort Devens.
It was with deep regret the School Committee learned of
his resignation.
We realize we have lost an outstanding, respected
associate of sterling character. We who have served with
him have been impressed by his sincerity, judgment and
fairness.
We wish to indicate our appreciation of his services
as a member of the committee for four years, and to record
our very best wishes for good health and success in his
new endeavors.

Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable:
The School Committee submits herewith its annual
report and the report of the Superintendent of Schools for
the year ending December 31, 1951.
New Hyannis Elementary School
On February 12, 1951 the School Committee officially
accepted for the Town the new twenty room Hyannis
Elementary School on Bearse's Way and on February 26th
the pupils moved into the new building from the Hyannis
Training School. Approximately three thousand towns-
people and out-of-town folk attended Open House which
was held on Sunday afternoon and evening, March 4th.
The interest and enthusiasm expressed by so many was very
heartening to your committee.
Centerville School Project
Early in the year representatives iof the Centerville
Civic Association met with the School Committee concern-
ing improvements and additions to the Centerville School.
An article was inserted in the warrant for the annual town
meeting in March and $5,000. was appropriated for the
preparation of detailed plans and specifications. Subse-
quently, the committee selected Richard Sears Gallagher
of Barnstable as architect for the project. The architect,
chairman of the School committee and the superintendent
of schools met with the School Building Assistance Com-
mission in Boston. The Commission has refused to approve
any assistance for improvements or additions to the Center-
ville School on the present site. The .School Committee is
now working on the idea of obtaining a suitable tract of
273
land in Centerville and the construction of a new building
thereon.
Osterville School Playground
Additional land at the rear of the Osterville School has
been obtained for playground purposes from funds appro-
priated at the last annual town meeting—improvements to
this area have been made during the year.
Public Law 874-81st Congress
The purpose of Public Law 874, 81st Congress, is to
provide financial assistance for current expenditures for
public schools in areas affected by Federal activities. Under
the provisions of this law, the Town of Barnstable received
$10,762.95 in 1951 for providing education in the Barn-
stable Public Schools for children whose parents are em-
ployed on Federal property.
New School Bus
The School Committee has awarded a contract for an
additional sixty passenger school bus to transport pupils
in the precincts of Hyannis. This bus meets all the require-
ments of'the School Committee and the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Registry Hof Motor Vehicles and will be in
operation early in January 1952.
"No-School" Signal
Arrangements have been made with Radio Stations
WOCB, WEEI and WHDH to announce the "No-School"
signal for the Barnstable Public Schools between 7:20 and
7:30 A.M. All schools will be open on all days when pupils
can be transported safely, but the decision as to whether or
not a child goes to school must be made by the parents and
should be determined by the physical condition of the child
and the clothing he has for meeting stormy weather con-
ditions.

School Committee Meetings
The School Committee held twenty-three meetings dur-
ing the year and numerous visits and periodic inspections
of the buildings were made.
Acknowledgements
The committee acknowledges with appreciation the
earnest cooperation of all the members of the School De-
partment personnel and the efforts of the Barnstable
Booster's Club and all other organizations and individuals

A Message from the
Superintendent of Schools
The schools of today are confronted with vital respon-
sibilities. Schools must be prepared to realize changing
situations, to recognize new needs, and to expand, increase,
and improve educational experiences that will contribute
to future adjustment of children. We believe that the in-
dividual needs of children are of utmost importance and
that our instruction must be so directed that each child
realizes his maximum potentialities.
The knowledges, attitudes, and skills are still empha-
sized as a foundation for building sound citizenship. Our
children are learning to practice democracy and good citi-
zenship, learning to understand and respect the lives and
living of others, learning to think clearly and independ-
ently, learning to take care of their health, learning to live
and enjoy useful, happy lives.
We intend that the education for the boys and girls
in the schools of Barnstable be practical and realistic. The
children seem eager. The teachers are well trained and en-
thusiastic. They plan and work together with procedures
and materials toward recognised objectives and seem to
experience wholesome, effective school living.
Knowing the citizens Hof Barnstable are interested in
what goes on in the schools we are including in this school
report photographs that tell their own dramatic stories, and
material to interpret and provide further meaning to these
pictures. We hope that through these interpretations of
certain phases of our instructional program and the statis-
tical data you will arrive at a better understanding of our
schools. Such a unified understanding between the home
276
and the school will make for better development of our
boys and girls.
Particular attention is given in much of the following
material to suggest what is being done in health education
in our schools—our understanding of health being—"a
state of physical, mental, and social well-being not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity". It is our policy to con-
duct the schools and to guard the health of the pupils in
such a way that health protection, the detection of health
needs, the correction of remedial defects and health pro-
motion are reflected in the practices of the entire system.
The Health Program is an indispensable part of the whole
curriculum and is smoothly integrated with the complete
rdueational setup.
We hope this phase of the report will invite your in-
terest and will create understanding and approval of our
health promotion tendencies.

Health Program In Our Schools "
Ethel M. Aikens, R. N., School Nurse
Harvard H. Broadbent
Director of Curriculum and Guidance
Forrest Beam, M.D., School Physician
As -Nvas pointed out in the school report of a year ago,
the modern school is concerned with the many-sided de-
velopment of its pupils. Last year we pointed out by a few
brief illustrations how the Barnstable Schools are concerned
with the social, physical, and emotional development of
their pupils as well as their development in the tool
subjects.
This year it has been decided to go into more detail
concerning the physical and emotional development of
pupils by giving a more detailed report on the health pro-
gram in our schools.
The health of a_ pupil is of primary importance not
only in his development as a good citizen in a -democracy,
but also in his progress as a pupil in school.
The health program of the Barnstable Public Schools
can be roughly divided into two parts—health services and
health instruction. This does not mean that these two phases
of our program are separate and distinct. Rather, there.is
close cooperation between those primarily concerned with
health services and those concerned with instruction. The
aim of both groups is the same and every effort is made to
achieve our goal of sound healthy pupils.
278
HEALTH SERVICES
Physical Examinations
The school health services commence with the registra-
tion of the entering child at the pre=school health confer-
ence conducted late in May.
The parents accompany the child, and, at the physical
examination, have an opportunity to confer with the school
physician and nurse with reference to .any emotional or
physical handicap which has occurred during the pre-school
life of the child which might, impair his progress in school.
One hundred and forty-seven children, with .parents,
attended the pre-school conference in 1951..
In addition to the entering physical examination, each
child receives three more examinations, spaced at the third,
seventh and eleventh grade levels, and'more frequently if
conditions indicate. Parents are notified .of conditions found
which require correction. The school physician also ex-
anlines all bus drivers and athletic teams.
In accordance with Chapter 732 of Acts of 1950 General
Laws of Massachusetts, all school personnel have received
chest X-rays.

Dental Health Program
This year the County Health Officer offered the services
of the County Dental Hygienist to inspect all of the chil-
dren's teeth, from grades one through twelve. A total of
one thousand, seven hundred thirty-six examinations were
conducted by the Dental Hygienist and parents were notified
of necessary dental work needed.

Number of dental examinations 300
Number of temporary fillings 136
Number of permanent fillings 475
Number of temporary extractions 18
Number of permanent extractions 1
Number of treatments 630
The children in the Town of Barnstable are indeed
fortunate to have a well equipped dental clinic established
in the new Elementary School.
Although we have made good progress in the correction
of dental caries in our school system, it still remains a
major health problem. The. dentists in the Town of Barn-
stable are conscious of this condition and have very gra-
ciously offered to assist the School Department and are co-
,operating splendidly.
More clinics are needed to meet the needs of the- chil-
dren in grades one through four, and it, is hoped that in
the coming year the Board of Health will have sufficient
funds to service the clinic twice a week throughout the
school year.
Vision Testing
Every pupil in the Barnstable School System is being
tested for vision this year by the Massachusetts State
Vision Test. This is a screening test for hyperopia, astig-
matism, near and far phoria, as well as visual acuity.

tests. The parents are notified of the results of these tests
and are requested to see their family physician, eye special-
ist or ear specialist for diagnosis and treatment.

Immunization clinics against, Tetanus and Diphtheria
were conducted by the County Health Officer. A total of
two hundred and five booster inoculations were given and
sixty children received their first immunizations against
diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus.

It is very regrettable that no facilities are available

and behavior problems. It is hoped that the need for.such
a service will be studied and that a clinic may be estab-
lished for this purpose sometime in the near future.

As stated in our previous reports, a.sound school health
program is based on the co-ordinated efforts of home, school
and community resources. We are extremely fortunate to
have this type of teamwork in the Town of Barnstable,
and are very appreciative of the co-operation of the par-
ents, family physicians and all health and welfare agencies
who have assisted us in the continued improvement in
our work.
HEALTH INSTRUCTION
Our program in health instruction was revised and
augmented during the past year by a committee consisting
of John Linehan, Chairman; Elizabeth Hudson, Mabel Alt-
peter, Inez Lahteine, Alys LaCrosse and William Naylor.

This group of teachers prepared more than eighty
287
teaching devices on various grade levels. This work is to
be incorporated with the health outline prepared by .our
health committee.
Our health instruction includes the teaching of cleanli-
ness; care of the teeth; posture; eyes, ears, nose and throat;
food and nutrition; rest and relaxation; and proper
clothing.
The main purpose of this program is to help children
acquire the right health habits. This is done not only by
formal instruction but also by such means as daily health in-
spections, charts, posters, songs, poems, activities, washing
before eating school lunches, reading and telling stories,
hlms, drawings, physical education activities and, bulletin
board displays.
As stated previously, our program of health instruction
is closely coordinated with our health services. Teachers
attempt in the classroom to create the proper attitude on
the part of pupils toward the dentist, doctor, and other
health services so that pupils will understand that those
concerned with these activities are endeavoring to help
pupils maintain good health.
The health program illustrates one of the underlying
philosophies of our school system—an interest and attempt
to develop the growth oT the whole child.

BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL
Frederick 1U. Hodge, Principal
Enrollment
The total enrollment of Barnstable High School on
December 31, 1951 was 853 pupils, an increase of 28 pupils
over the December 1950 enrollment and the-largest in the
history of the school. As present indications are that the
enrollment will continue to increase even more rapidly
during the next few years, immediate consideration should _
be given to the construction of additional facilities.
Program of Studies
Nine courses were offered during the past year: Busi-
ness, College, General, Practical Arts, Agriculture, House-
hold Arts,` Boatbuilding, Carpentry and Machine Shop.
This large number -of courses enables us to. meet the varied
interests and needs of our pupils in a satisfactory manner.
As parents have shown' considerable interest in college
preparation, school activities and guidance during the past
year, it seems appropriate'to give an account of what we
are doing in these important phases of high school
education.
College Preparation
Barnstable High School graduates who have an A or B
in each subject are recommended for admission to college.
Most oolleges now require that all applicants for admis-
sion take the Scholastic Aptitude Test given by the "Col-
lege Entrance Examination Board, and in addition, some
colleges require three one-hour achievement tests in sub-
jects studied during the senior year. These tests are given
at Barnstable High School in January, March and May.
Most colleges now request that the tests be taken not, later
than March so that they may make a decision on all appli-
cants by the second week in May.
289
In 1951 all qualified applicants from Barnstable High
School were successful in these examinations and were ad-
mitted to the following colleges:
American International College 1
Boston University 1
Brown University 1
Emerson College 1
Harvard University 2
Lesley College 1
Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1
Northeastern University 5
Rollins College 1
University -of Maine 1
University of Massachusetts 2
Westfield Teachers' College 1
Wheaton College 1
Barnstable High School is rated a Class A school by
the State Department of-Education.

School Activities
The additional financial support provided by the town
has eliminated the chief problem. of the athletic program,
and has made possible a. reduction for our pupils in the
price of admission to games.. The work of the Boosters'
Club in awarding trophies, sponsoring the football banquet
and providing transportation is .greatly appreciated. The
girls' basketball team won the upper Cape championship,
the baseball team won the Cape Cod championship and the
football team went through the season undefeated.
In September a faculty committee was appointed to
make a study of school activities, and bring in recommend-
ations for improving the actavity program. In accordance
with the recommendations of this committee, a crafts and
model airplane club, a dramatic club, a stamp club and a
square dance club were added to the activities already in
effect. At the present time we offer the following program
of activities:

Guidance
During the last twenty-five years educators have recog-
nized the importance of guidance in the public schools.
Students in undergraduate and graduate schools of educa-
tion find courses in guidance required. Many of our-teachers
in Barnstable have taken such courses, and many are taking
them now. Teachers are encouraged to understand their
pupils' needs and requirements as individuals in a complex
society—to teach children as well as subjects. To help these
teachers do this, guidance departments have come into
being, with specially trained personnel. These guidance
people are concerned with the development of the whole
child into a well-adjusted graduate with a complete under-
standing of his possibilities. These people are experts in new
fields in the educational picture: testing directors, counsel-
ors, psychologists, job experts, researchers and mental hy-
gienists. We are continually striving to improve our guid-
ance hygiene.
This year a permanent committee for guidance has
been established to consider all phases of a good program,
291
to make recommendations for improvement, and to better
the present service to you and your children. The members
of this committee are: Mary Murray, Evelyn Lahteine,
Elizabeth Wright, Arnold Rogean, Karl Lindquist and
Arnold Smith.

In an interview with a high school counselor some test
results are explained,
We at Barnstable want to give each pupil all possible
knowledge regarding his personal abilities, aptitudes, inter-
ests and limitations. To this end it is essential that much
of the guidance ofiice's .time be used to secure informa-
tion. This may be- done through testing, interviews, anec-
dotal records, questionnaires, and by other.means.
Testing is an important function of guidance and an
accepted method of prediction. Our guidance office uses
292
tw,o general types of test; those given to a great many
pupils at one time and those given individually. The results
of these tests are available to parents, to pupils, and to the
teaching staff. They are carefully preserved and the re-
sults are used many times during the twelve years it takes
to obtain them.
At the High School your faculty and guidance office
are now using the .following types of tests:
1. Achievement tests, standardized on national popu-
lations of pupils which give each pupil an oppor-
tunity to compare his achievement with the national
average and with his entire grade in his own school.
2. Intelligence tests, or those more commonly known
as I. Q. tests.
3. Interest inventories to determine the pattern of
interests of each pupil.

A group of high school seniors learns how to measure manual dexterity.
293
4. Special aptitude tests for science, art, clerical work,
music, reading, mathematics, finger dexterity and
,other skills.
5. Personality inventories to determine causes of per-
sonal problems in and out of school.
The achievement testing, program is carried out an-
nually and the entire High School participates. This oc-
curred in October last year, and the results were reported
back to the pupils in December. The scores are also avail-
able to parents and teachers and have served during recent
weeks to assist pupils in finding those areas of study where
they need more learning.
The intelligence tests were given to all members of the
seventh grade during the first weeks of school. Most of
the juniors and seniors also took such tests to corroborate
earlier results. Where great differences appeared individual
'tests were given. These tests indicate a pupil's aptitude for
study and the guidance office was able to show pupils who
were not achieving up to their ability that they did not
nave to be satisfied with low grades: These test results
were also forwarded to many schools and colleges where
graduates sought admission, along with the transcript of
marks obtained.
Interest inventories were administered to all members
of the eighth grade, to most seniors, and to many other
pupils who requested that they be given them. Each per-
son employed in one of the 40,000 defined jobs in this
country is the possessor of a. pattern of interests: The
average pattern of the workers at each job has been cal-
culated and may be used for comparison with the interest
pattern of the pupil. Since successful workers in each job
have definite interest patterns, it then becomes possible to
predict with some accuracy whether our pupils would enjoy .
success in a particular field, on the basis of interests. One
girl who thought she would enter nursing was surprised

to find that her lowest interests were in the scientific and
social service areas, and that her highest interest was com-
putational and next, highest clerical. When told of the jobs
held by adults with the same high interests she began to
consider a career of .office work, later entered upon secre-
tarial work and ha.s been successful and happy about her
choice. Still another pupil with the same situation who did
not change her future plans but entered a school of social
work found it distasteful and discouraging and left school
early in the first year.
Aptitude tests for particular fields will often answer a
question for the pupil regarding his chance for success in
that particular field. The guidance office and business de-
partment have been particularly impressed in this con-
nection as the result of a program for the prediction of
success in shorthand.
Personality inventories have been useful in solving
some of the personal problems pupils-have found interfering
with their success in school work. Sometimes these problems
have been cleared up by talking them over; or by just lis-
tening sympathetically, or by putting the pupil in touch
with a teacher to whom he particularly wanted to tell his
295
troubles. Some of these problems have been unknown, but
brought out by the use of problem and personality inven-
tories. These have been used to a very limited extent at
the High School during the year, time and personnel being
unavailable for a more complete program.
Interviewing has also provided much information, with
parents, pupils, teachers and other interested parties. These
are conducted daily by the principal and the guidance office
before and after school as well as during the day. The
number completed each day varied from one or two to
ten or twelve. (Records of all important interviews are
written and recorded in each pupil's folder.) Record-
keeping and filing demand a great amount of time. This
year many more parents have come to school, not because
of conduct problems especially, but to find what has been
learned about their children. They too have contributed
much information that has been helpful to the teachers
and the guidance office.
Still further information has been obtained through
written anecdotal records contributed to the pupils' folders
by alert teachers who have observed an important bit of
behavior about their pupils.
Through questionnaires it has been possible to add
much more information to that already accumulated. Such
surveys have been conducted not only with those in school
but among graduates to learn where the school could im-
prove its offerings and services.
Not only must the guidance office collect information
about pupils but in order to answer their many questions
it has been necessary to develop libraries of, occupational
information and school and college catalogs. Two full files
of ever-changing occupational information are available in
the guidance office and the library. Three sets of catalogs
are kept up to date as far as possible. Then too, the High
School has encouraged visits by representatives of outside
296
businesses and schools, and appointments have been made
for those who have come to the school to talk with any
interested pupils. Here in Barnstable we subscribe to a
complete service that will keep us up to date on changes
in the world of work, and conditions of work in various
enterprises. We would like to incorporate more informa-
tion about local opportunities into our files and the guid-
ance committee will undoubtedly concern itself with this
activity during the coming year.
The committee will also survey all possible scholarship
information this year. This material regarding financial aid
to students will be on file for the use of pupils and parents
during the year.

A high school senior visits an elementary school class to observe

297
Still further information is obtained through the direct
cooperation of the community in the form of visits to
workers on the job for observation of these workers and
consideration of their jobs as possible careers .for our
pupils. All interested seniors have, for example, been pro-
vided an opportunity to observe an elementary teacher for
a full day. Similar observations have been held at hos-
pitals and the Cape and Vineyard Electric Company. People
in the Town of Barnstable have been most cooperative in
this respect. Opportunities to observe workers in other local
fields will be welcomed by the guidance office.
Having gathered information from all of the sources
enumerated, and some not, mentioned, the school personnel
are next concerned with getting this information to the
pupils, teachers and parents. This is accomplished in many
ways but principally through counseling and through group
guidance classes.
The interview tame allowable to each pupil should be
increased in our school. An average of the recommendations
of guidance experts would provide a full-time counselor for
each three hundred pupils. This would give the counselor a
little over three hours and a half each year with each pupil,
still none too long a time when the magnitude of the job is
considered. Your principal and guidance teacher are at
present counseling each day with those pupils with the
most urgent.problems. Such interviews during the past year
have accomplished changes in course or subject, prepara-
tion for college entrance examinations, and have considered
many and varied questions brought by the pupils for an
answer.
During the year some parents liave asked whether they
should consult, a commercial testing agency concerning the
guidance of their children. Here in Barnstable you already
have that agency, without extra cost,'a.nxious to serve you,
and in a position over.a long period of time to make more
298
intensive searches for the information you and your chil-
dren need.
To save time and because some problems are common
to almost all pupils we have found, that we can answer
some questions and solve some problems best in classroom
groups and activities. There have been ten divisions of
Guidance, meeting once a week during the year in the
seventh and eighth grades, and two sections of sixty-three
seniors meeting daily in psychology classes.
In the seventh grade guidance classes, part of the test-
ing program is accomplished. Pupils are helped in orienta-

In the eighth grade classes almost all of the time is

tion for the ninth grade. Many tests and inventories are
taken by the pupils and a thorough and critical examina-
tion of the results is concluded before they make the choice.

In the senior year the pupil may elect a major course
in psychology, his program and plans permitting, and here
again a testing program of some ten psychological tests
is completed along with a basic course in psychology. Some
of the topics that are considered in this course are: The
Problems of Psychology; Personalty—What it is, and how
it is measured ; Intelligence and Its Measurement; Heredity
and Environment; The Senses; Problems of Observation;
How We Learn; Improving Learning Techniques; The
Emotions; Mental Hygiene; Problems of Society; Voca-
tional Efficiency and Marriage and the Family. An appre-
ciation of the course has been indicated by several of your
graduates who frequently return to school for further in-
formation about themselves.
In addition to counseling and group guidance classes
information is distributed to teachers and pupils through
bulletins from commercial guidance services or compiled
by the guidance office.
Your school guidance services will endeavor to continue
bringing the maximum amount of information to the atten-
tion of your children, and with your continued coopera-
tion will grow to meet the ever-increasing needs of youth `
today.

School did not change materially in 1951. Boat building,
carpentry and machine shop continue to be the only courses
that can be offered until additional quarters are provided.
There is an increasing interest on the part of the,pupils
for an auto mechanics course. Trade courses in plumbing
and electricity would undoubtedly have appeal to boys in
considerable numbers.
The Trade School continues to provide practical train-
ing in subjects that will enable the students to better earn
a living and become competent and useful citizens. The
training given is concrete rather than abstract and is very
closely related to the problems of earning a livelihood.
We are convinced of the value of this type of school
and we are impressed by the interest and enthusiasm shown
by the pupils for this work.
EVENING SCHOOL
Classes started in October 1950, and continued through
the winter to late March when they terminated with an
exhibit in the high school gymnasium. Many people viewed
the attractive displays of decorated trays, jewelry, knit
work, pottery, rugs, suits .and dresses, and articles made
in the woodworking classes.
Registration was held again in October 1951 and
classes were started in adult civic education, rug hooking,
sewing, woodworking, tailoring, decorated ware, knitting
and typewriting.
